A prototype assistive treatment seat (T-Seat) has been developed that encourages practise boosting to improve trunk control and standing and walking promptly after stroke. The purpose of this study was to evaluate its usefulness in a rehabilitation environment. The T-Seat was integrated into 15 patients' post-stroke treatment plans by eleven real specialists (PTs). Under the direction of the PTs, each patient participated in the standard four individual therapy meetings on the T-Seat. Convenience was investigated using surveys, treatment diaries, and PT centre collection interviews. 64% of PTs generally had a favourable opinion of the T-Seat. Actual specialists recognised the possibility of solitary therapy.

In the western world, fractures among older adults—especially among older women represent a serious health issue. Hip fractures in particular are more likely than any other osteoporotic fractures to result in mortality, disability, and high medical costs. Nevertheless, it has been asserted that some hip fractures in elderly people occur on their own. There is strong evidence that falls are the main cause of fractures, if not almost all of them. Therefore, research on the types of falls that result in hip fractures is crucial from a preventive standpoint. In a recent case-control study, it was demonstrated that factors affecting the likelihood of hip fracture from a fall included the direction of the fall (sideways or straight down), which body parts struck the ground, bone density, and factors increasing or decreasing the force of impact (for example, surface hardness, the ability to break the fall.
