Accidental Falls Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Feasibility Study of an Intervention Using a Mobile Application to Promote Strength and Balance and Reduce Risk of Falls in Older People
This five arm feasibility study aims to promote self-management in strength and balance
exercises among community-living older people. The research process, implementation
strategies and procedures, acceptability of the exercise programs, perceived benefits of the
programs, and the ecological validity, acceptability and ability to detect change of possible
outcome measurements will be evaluated before a future randomized controlled trial. A
comparison of two exercise programs will be performed; a) Safe Step, a mobile technology
based exercise program with motivational strategies, developed by researchers in
collaboration with older adults, and b) Otago Exercise Program (OEP), home exercises
presented in a booklet. The older participants will be free to select either of the
intervention programs and the selection process and outcome will be studied as part of the
process evaluation.
The participants in three of the arms (OEP, Safe Step, and Safe Step with mentors) will be
recruited through advertisements in local papers and through posters and meetings at senior
citizens organisations. In the fourth and fifth arms (OEP and Safe Step) the participants
will be recruited from health care centres and their registered professionals with experience
of greens prescriptions (Fysisk aktivitet på recept). All five groups, with at least 10
participants in each, will be exercising for four months and will undergo testing at
baseline, after two and four months and they will be asked to keep an exercise diary (digital
or paper format) during the intervention.
