Forschung

Abteilung für Geriatrie

Die Forschungsabteilung der Klinik für Geriatrische Rehabilitation genießt nationales und internationales Renommée. 

Anwendungsnahe Fragestellungen aus geriatrisch-gerontologischen Themenfeldern wie Mobilität, Sturz, Frakturen, Demenz, gesundes Altern und pflegende Angehörige werden aufgegriffen. Der Transfer von neuen diagnostischen Ansätzen und Interventionen im Bereich der Prävention und Rehabilitation in die Praxis ist wichtiger Bestandteil der Arbeit.

Die Integration neuer technologischer Ansätze ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Forschungsstrategie. Seit über zehn Jahren arbeitet die Arbeitsgruppe an der Entwicklung alltagstauglicher, sensorbasierter Mess- und Analyseverfahren zur Untersuchung körperlicher Aktivität. Gegenwärtig werden Hybridsensoren und Smartphone-Anwendungen validiert, die auch Umgebungsfaktoren wie Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit aufzeichnen können. In einem Bewegungslabor, das auch als Klimakammer ausgestattet ist, wird neben diagnostischen Fragestellungen auch die Wirkung unterschiedlicher Einflussfaktoren (z. B. Temperatur) auf die kognitive und motorische Leistungsfähigkeit untersucht. 

Doktorand:innen, Studierende und Stipendiat:innen unterschiedlicher Förderprogramme, die sich in ihrer jeweiligen Fachrichtung mit Fragen des Alterns beschäftigen, sind in die Forschungsaktivitäten eingebunden.

Unsere Forschungsfelder

  • Epidemiologie und Versorgungsforschung

Wie lassen sich Stürze und Frakturen vermeiden?

Diese Frage und andere gehören zum Kernstück des Forschungsfeldes Epidemiologie. 

Mehr erfahren

Sensorik, Robotik und Virtuelle Realität (VR)

Die Nutzung von Technik spielt in der Geriatrie eine zunehmende Rolle. Daher beschäftigen wir uns mit den Möglichkeiten von Sensorik, Bewegungsanalyse, Robotik und virtueller Realität in der Prävention, Diagnostik, Therapie und Rehabilitation älterer Menschen. 

Mehr erfahren

  • Neue Interventionen

Ein zentrales Thema ist die Entwicklung und Evaluation neuer Interventionen zur Verbesserung der motorischen Leistung sowie zur Reduktion von Stürzen und Sturzfolgen. Zielgrößen sind innovative Bewegungs- und Trainingsinterventionen zum Entgegenwirken eines alters- bzw. krankheitsassoziierten Abbaus. 

Mehr erfahren

Implementierungsforschung

Wie können neuste Forschungsergebnisse im Bereich Stutzprävention in die Praxis geholt werden? Daneben ist es wichtig, (pflegende) Angehörige zu beraten, wie sie z. B. zum Erhalt der Selbstständigkeit ihrer Partner oder Eltern beitragen können.
