Clinical Trial Summary

Loss of mobility is predictive of a loss of autonomy and is often the first sign of functional decline. Loss of mobility is also associated with poor perceived quality of life, depressive symptoms, high risk of adverse events such as falls and fractures, to an increased risk to input in institution and mortality's increase.

Consequences and frequency of loss of mobility make essential its identification, evaluation and the practice of preventive measures in primary care.

The implementation of effective interventions in primary care to prevent or delay the loss of mobility is a public health priority.

PRISME-3P program aims to develop and evaluate a dedicated care pathway, in primary care, based on a personalized multimodal intervention: screening, support combining physician, teaching exercises by a specialized Monitor in Adapted Physical Activities (MAPA) and nutritional counseling.

• Elderly Patient (>70 Years)
• Loss of Mobility

Intervention

Behavioral:
• PRISME-3P program
PRISM-3P program will consist on a visit in the geriatric centre: Consultation with the geriatrician to rule a condition associated with loss of mobility and not known until now. Perform a nutritional assessment by a dietician followed by appropriate care management. Educational activity based on exercises and physical activity and balance: MAPA teaches exercises to develop strength and balance; gives tips to increase time spent on non-sedentary activities and enhance endurance followed by a monthly phone coaching. At 3 months, in case of no improvement of the SPPB score of 1 point, a training of 10 weeks with two sessions per week will be perform by the MAPA individually or in small patients groups; Implementation of a information exchange processing (mail, phone and book binding) between the various stakeholders.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score	Consists in estimating three components: 1. walking, 2. muscular strength and endurance, and 3. balance through short physical exercises (walk on a defined distance, get up from a chair, keep a position up). A score from 1 to 3 for each of the components marks a very low feature of lower limbs. This feature is considered low of 4 in 6, moderated by 7 in 9 and high of 10 in 12.	from baseline at 6 months
Secondary	Evolution of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score	Consists in estimating three components: 1.walking, 2.muscular strength and endurance, and 3. balance through short physical exercises (walk on a defined distance, get up from a chair, keep a position up). A score from 1 to 3 for each of the components marks a very low feature of lower limbs. This feature is considered low of 4 in 6, moderated by 7 in 9 and high of 10 in 12.	Baseline, 3 months (for interventional arm), 6 months and 12 months
Secondary	Assessment of functional disability by questionnaires	Functional disability refers to limitations in performing in dependent living tasks, which are often further divided into activities of daily living (ADLs), which include basic activities of hygiene and personal care, and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), which include basic activities necessary to reside in the community, such as shopping, managing finances, housekeeping, and meal preparation	Baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Secondary	Assessment of Quality of Life by questionnaire	The Quality of Life is assessed with the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). The SF-12 is a multipurpose short form survey with 12 questions which were combined, scored, and weighted to create two scales that provide glimpses into mental and physical functioning and overall health-related-quality of life	baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Secondary	Number of falls	Data will be collected by the geriatrician from the patient's medical records	Baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Secondary	Number of hospitalization	Data will be collected by the geriatrician from the patient's medical records	Baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Secondary	Assessment of the Physical Activity by questionnaire	Using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) auto-questionnaire which is designed to assess the duration, frequency, exertion level, and amount of physical activity undertaken over a seven day period.	baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Secondary	Assessment of sedentary time by questionnaire	Using self-report sedentary behavior questionnaire based on the Gardiner questionnaire to assess time spent in behaviors common among older adults: watching television, computer use, reading, socializing, transport and hobbies, and a summary measure (total sedentary time)	baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Secondary	Assessment of weight loss	weight in kilograms	baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Secondary	Body Mass Index (BMI)	calculating the BMI in kg/m^2	baseline, 6 months and 12 months
Secondary	Assessment of nutritional status using MNA scale	Using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) scale which consists of 18 point-weighted questions in four categories, i.e., anthropometry, global and dietary issues, and self-assessment.	baseline, 3 months (for interventional arm depending on the SPPB score), 6 months and 12 months
Secondary	Rate of study participation		Baseline
Secondary	Monitoring of detailed physical activity performed by patients with diaries outlining the exercise sessions .	Patient adherence to the multimodal intervention. Monitoring of detailed physical activity performed by patients. Patients were also asked to complete diaries outlining the exercise sessions.	at the end of the multimodal intervention (3 months)
Secondary	Monitoring of detailed physical activity performed by patients with MAPA assessment.	Patient adherence to the multimodal intervention. Monitoring of detailed physical activity performed by patients. Patients MAPA assessment.	at the end of the multimodal intervention (3 months)
Secondary	Rate of compliant General practitioners (GP) associated to the study		at 12 months
Secondary	Assessment of psychological factors using GDS-4 scale associated with a loss of mobility	Using a short Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-4). The GDS may be used with healthy, medically ill and mild to moderately cognitively impaired older adults.	baseline, 6 and 12 months
Secondary	Assessment of social factors associated with a loss of mobility	Using the Evaluation of Precarity and Inequalities in Health Examination Centers (EPICES) score which is related to several socioeconomic indicators (occupation, education, and employment status), to health-related behaviors (smoking and health care use), and morbidity (self-perceived health, dental health, obesity, and diabetes).	baseline
