The elderly commonly experience six types of sensory impairments: vision impairment, encompassing conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts, which can lead to visual acuity loss and depth perception difficulties; hearing loss, known as presbycusis, resulting in challenges with understanding speech and distinguishing sounds; taste and smell disorders, affecting the enjoyment of food and the ability to detect odors; diminished tactile sensitivity, often due to conditions like peripheral neuropathy, increasing the risk of injury and falls; balance and vestibular disorders, impacting mobility and increasing fall risk; and proprioceptive impairments, affecting coordination and activities like walking and reaching. Recognising and addressing these impairments is crucial for enhancing the quality of life and well-being of elderly individuals.
