Gait, Unsteady Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Screening Accuracy of a Device for Fall Risk Assessment in the Elderly: a Cross-sectional Study With a Futility Design
This study evaluates the screening accuracy of a device (OAK) in assessing fall risk in the
elderly, compared to the assessment provided by the Algorithm for Fall Risk Assessment of
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The OAK device is a technologic system, based on virtual reality. It allows to quickly
perform a fall risk assessment integrating clinical indexes of the Brief-BESTest (The
Balance Evaluation System Test), and kinematic and posturgraphic indexes. The participants
interact with the OAK device through simple exercises, then the device provides an
assessment of their functional mobility, equilibrium and postural reactions.
Falls are a serious problem among the elderly. Most falls do not cause death, but 20%-30% of
falls result in serious injuries representing a significant source of morbidity and
mortality. Good evidence shows that many falls can be prevented. Thus, identifying people
with risk of falling is crucial. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the screening
accuracy of a device (OAK) in assessing fall risk in the elderly.
Participants are recruited at IRCCS Galeazzi Orthopedic Hospital in Milan, among outpatients
and healthy volunteers. A brief questionnaire is administered in order to collect data
relevant to the CDC Algorithm for Fall Risk Assessment. Then, participants are assessed
through the OAK device. The OAK assessment is evaluated in terms of performance, accuracy
(in comparison to the CDC Algorithm for Fall Risk Assessment) and safety.
