Filter by:Despite decades of research into patient falls, falls and the injuries incurred continue to be a serious threat to patient safety. Fall rates continue to be unacceptably high. The purpose of this project is to increase the safety of a hospital room for patient mobility, using innovative simulation strategies and patient-centric design.
In an ageing population, the need for interventions to help older people remain healthy, active and independent for as long as possible, increases. Although several studies suggest a beneficial effect of vitamin D3 on maintaining or improving muscle strength and physical functioning, particularly in vulnerable populations, results are contradicting. Randomized, placebo-controlled trials are needed to further establish the effect of vitamin D on muscle strength in the frail elderly population.The primary aim of this study is to determine the effect of daily supplementation with two different forms of vitamin D on muscle strength in frail elderly people over a period of 24 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the patient characteristics, selection of treatment, and factors associated with clinical outcomes in Japanese patients with acutely decompensated congestive heart failure.
The study will explore multiple mobility function tests as well as functional and neuropsychological tests in elderly subjects at risk for falls and disability, before and after 4-month exercise and/or Vitamin D intervention.
