Evaluation of Balance and Movement in Order to Prevent the Risk of Falling in the Post-operative Period — NOCADINRIAB  

Patient Fall Clinical Trial

Official title:
Stratification of Fall Risk in a Rehabilitation Department Through Tools That Evaluate Postural Balance and Movement Capacity in the Preoperative Period

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to identify, in patients undergoing hip and knee joint replacement, the functional evaluation tools predictive of the risk of falling upon admission to the orthopedic department and to correlate the results obtained with clinical evaluation scales that are generally used for fall risk stratification and the number of falls actually occurring both in the orthopedic department and in the rehabilitation department.

Clinical Trial Description

The goal of this prospective interventional cohort study is to identify functional assessment tools predictive of the risk of falling in patients undergoing hip and knee joint replacement surgery upon admission to an orthopedic department and to correlate the results obtained with the clinical rating scales generally used for the risk stratification of fall. All patients upon admission to the Orthopedic Department of the DRS (Rizzoli Sicily Department), throughin the pre-operative setting will undergo an assessment of mobility level, dynamic stability and co-ordination: Test UP and GO, Il Four Square Step Test, Stabilometric Analysis. After admission to the DRS Rehabilitation Medicine Department, all patients will receive an evaluation, which is currently used, consisting of: History of fall risk through multidimensional assessment, Compilation of ICF(International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) and Barthel Index. The following ratings will also be added: Compiling the Morse scale, Pharmacological history, CIRS (Cumulative Illness Rating Scale), The scores obtained from the various measures used in the patients will be correlated to any falls recorded during hospitalization with the aim to obtain a stratification of falls risk in those patients. ;
