Visual rehabilitation via microperimetry in patients with geographic atrophy: a pilot study
International Journal of Retina and Vitreous, 2017 BackgroundAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the western world. As a consequence of AMD, patients develop structural damage that comprises the fovea and subsequently present loss of central vision, low visual ...

The relevance of aging-related changes in brain function to rehabilitation in aging-related disease
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 The effects of aging on rehabilitation of aging-related diseases are rarely a design consideration in rehabilitation research. In this brief review we present strong coincidental evidence from these two fields suggesting that deficits in aging-related ...
