Elderly fall rate cut with Anodyne therapy
Rehab Regs, April 29, 2004
Anodyne Therapy, LLC, has announced the publication of a fourth peer-reviewed clinical study demonstrating restoration in the feet of patients with peripheral neuropathy, according to Aging and Elder Health Week. These patients also obtained significant improvements in ambulation and balance, leading to a 96% reduction in fall rates. The company is currently examining the extent by which Anodyne treatments will reduce the incidence of diabetic foot wounds, another serious complication of peripheral neuropathy. The study is published in the April 2004 issue of Geriatric Physical Therapy.
