Living in Fitness Together (LIFT): Testing an Innovative Fall Prevention Program

LIFT
Start date: May 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a group-based fall prevention program for older adults.

NCT ID: NCT02705690 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee

Benchmarking the iOS Balance Application Against the Berg Balance Test

BBAaBBT
Start date: May 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to benchmark the performance of an iOS application against the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), which is the most commonly used assessment tool by clinicians for measuring balance across the continuum from acute care to community-based care. An iPhone will be tied around the waist of the participant and concurrent measurements will be taken for five of the fourteen stances which comprise the BBS.

NCT ID: NCT02700672 Completed - Accidental Falls Clinical Trials

Influence of Cognition and Gait on Falls

ICGF
Start date: January 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The study analyses if cognition and gait speed can predict falls in a community-dwelling people and ambulant long term care residents

NCT ID: NCT02696668 Not yet recruiting - Accidental Falls Clinical Trials

Advances in Group-based Falls Rehabilitation

Start date: May 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study's main aim is to compare the effect of a modified FaME vs. a multisensory balance exercise programme on falls risk, balance confidence and quality of life in older adults who fall or at risk of falling when implemented in a group setting.

NCT ID: NCT02696538 Completed - Clinical trials for Traumatic Brain Injury

Comparative Utility of Clinical Balance Measures in Traumatic Brain Injury

Start date: March 11, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research study is to investigate how useful three balance tests are in predicting fall risk in the individual with traumatic brain injury (TBI). These tests are the Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and the mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (mini-BESTest).

NCT ID: NCT02665169 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Kuopio Fall Prevention Study.

KFPS
Start date: March 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study evaluates the 6 month exercise intervention (Taiji and gym course) combined with free use of communal recreation facilities in fall prevention. Morbidity, use of social services and health outcomes of aging women in province of Kuopio, Finland are also monitored. The study combines a six months supervised exercise, followed by six months free, but unsupervised, use of recreational facilities and observational period of second year into total of 2 year follow up duration.

NCT ID: NCT02645006 Recruiting - Physical Activity Clinical Trials

Workshop for Primary Prevention of Falls. CHANGING TO NEVER FALL. CTNF

CTNF
Start date: May 2015
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a primary prevention workshop is effective decreasing at least 13% the annual incidence of falls in elderly compared to the habitual counseling. Before the first fall incident, the elderly aged 65 or more, living in community, are invited to attend a workshop on fall preventing activities and factor risk detection. This activity consists on four sessions (one session per week during three weeks and the fourth session one year later) in which the elderly are expected to detect their own fall risk factors, encouraged to introduce healthy habits and to increase physical activity in order to improve strength and balance specifically. This workshop has been prepared by family physicians following the latest scientific recommendations, it will be lead by them on the first edition, but it has not been written in formal language in order to be used by volunteers concerned about aging topics, independent from the Health Service.

NCT ID: NCT02634736 Completed - Accidental Falls Clinical Trials

Cluster RCT of Falls Prevention Exergames for Older Adults

Profexs
Start date: February 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This cluster RCT study will investigate the effectiveness of strength/balance Exergames (exercise and computer games that use body movements as controls) developed to improve balance, function, prevent falls and increase exercise adherence for older people in the home setting. The proposal incorporates postural stability Exergames that have been developed with users based on best evidence strength and balance exercise (OTAGO and Postural Stability) currently used by therapists, safe for older people and can be used in the home setting

NCT ID: NCT02631330 Recruiting - Accidental Falls Clinical Trials

Effect on Falls Reduction of a Multimodal Intervention in Frail and Pre-frail Elderly Community-dwelling People

FAREMAVA
Start date: December 2015
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Practice guidelines in caring for the geriatric population recommend performing an annual screening of falls . However, one of the problems that interfere with fall prevention programs is the lack of importance accorded to health professionals to falls. This lack of awareness of the risks faced by the associated geriatric population falls generates reluctance to adherence to a fall prevention program . At European level there are the same gaps in knowledge about the real effectiveness and efficiency of fall prevention programs . HYPOTHESIS: The implementation of a multicomponent fall prevention program in frail and pre-frail elderly community-dwelling people reduce the incidence of falls. OBJECTIVES General: • To determine the efficacy of a comprehensive program to prevent falls in the community. Specific: - Knowing whether reducing the incidence of falls implies a reduction in visits to primary care, emergency department or hospital staying. - Knowing the adhesion, through indirect measures, to the intervention program. - Knowing the nutritional, functional, cognitive, social, anthropometric, respiratory and clinical profile, including falls, of the sample. MATERIAL AND METHODS Study design: Multicenter community intervention study, longitudinal, prospective, randomized, and experimental. Through intervention by nurses in primary care education of subjects over 70 years it is to know the effectiveness of a comprehensive program of falls prevention. It will proceed to recruit older than or equal to 70 years subjects, who meet frailty criteria age, belonging to the areas of Madeira Island (Portugal) and La Ribera County (Valéncia, Spain) .

NCT ID: NCT02617303 Active, not recruiting - Osteoporosis Clinical Trials

Prevention of Falls and Its Consequences in Elderly People

PRECIOSA
Start date: September 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Falls are an important risk factor for fragility fractures. Both are associated with the ageing process and as they rise also increase the risk of mortality, disability and dependency. Interventions to prevent falls have been based on multifactorial approaches but the outcomes have shown little effectiveness. Lately, it is being recommended interventions which foster physical exercise incorporating it to daily life activities. The OTAGO exercise programme is based on easy physical exercises for older adults and has shown cost-effective outcomes for falls prevention and its consequences.
