Accidental Falls Clinical Trial
Official title:
Tests and Exercises Home-based Program "T&E" for Fall Prevention and Quality of Life in Elderly: a Randomised Control Pilot-study
The aim of the pilot-study is to evaluate the feasability of a future RCT, regarding
recruitement of eligible participants, adhesion rate, datarecording and cost. In this
feasibility pilot study, 18 patients with at least 65 years will be allocated randomly to one
of two interventions. The control group gets a well-known home-based exercise program (OTAGO)
aiming to prevent falls where the exercises are prescribed by a physical therapists. The
exercises will be presented on a booklet and on printed cards. The Intervention group
consists of an exercise program, the "T&E" program, where the elderly persons can choose the
exercises depending on their abilities. The exercises in the "T&E" program will be presented
in a printed manual and shown on videos on an electronic tablet. Both intervention groups
receive 6 hours of instruction and control/supervision sessions by physical therapists. In
addition, the participants will exercise alone.
The interventions will be performed over 24 weeks.
In this pilot study, the hypothesis is that the adhesion rate is at least 65%. Other
feasibility criteria will be costs, data recording issues and the qualitative evaluation of
the booklet and the tablet.
Falls will be assessed with a falls calendar. The amount of physical activity of the
participants is assessed with an accelerometers (actigraph) and quality of life will be
assessed with OPQOL-35 at baseline, week 16 and week 24.
