NCT ID: NCT04804579 Completed - HIV Infection Clinical Trials

Boston ARCH 4F Intervention to Reduce Fall Risk in People With HIV and Alcohol Use

Start date: October 20, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is being conducted to assess the acceptability and feasibility of a randomized trial of a 10 week virtual intervention to reduce fall risk in people with HIV who consume alcohol. The hypothesis is that this randomized trial of the fall prevention intervention will be found to be feasible and acceptable in this pilot stage. Standardized assessments will be administered in-person at Boston University Medical Campus to assess various domains including fall risk, fear of falling, physical performance measures (such as grip strength, balance, and gait speed), substance use, and other related measures. The intervention has 3 main components: home exercises, virtual group sessions and weekly phone check-ins. Home exercise will be customized to match the current fitness level of participants. Participants will be asked to complete assigned exercises 3 times per week. Additionally, there will be a weekly virtual group session led by an Occupational Therapist trained in group facilitation via Zoom. The virtual group sessions will be used to help answer any questions and lead a discussion around challenges related to falls. Finally, a member of the research team will check-in with participants once per week to answer any remaining questions that participants have, provide individual feedback on exercises, and set up reminders for the upcoming week. Reminders will be tailored to the individual participant's needs to remind the participant to complete the intervention's components.

NCT ID: NCT02919514 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Effect of Surfaces on Fall in Elderly

Start date: November 15, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To investigate the effects of Thai dance exercises over 6 weeks on functional outcomes and incidence of fall in community-dwelling older individuals. To compare effects of exercise training on hard, soft and sand surfaces in community-dwelling older individuals

NCT ID: NCT02648646 Completed - Osteoarthritis Clinical Trials

Falls Prevention Program for Adults With Osteoarthritis

Start date: November 2, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Purpose: To report the feasibility and to obtain preliminary data on the effects of using an enhanced Otago Exercise Programme to reduce fall risk in individuals with osteoarthritis (OA). Participants: Ten participants from the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project who have OA, are at risk for falls, and are 65+ years old. Procedures (methods): All participants will receive the 6-month enhanced Otago program. The investigators will assemble data: quantifying participant adherence to and safety of the intervention, ascertaining retention of participants for 6 months, determining acceptability of the program, and other validated measures (e.g., number of falls and fall severity, balance measures).

NCT ID: NCT01936922 Completed - Falls, Accidental Clinical Trials

Testing Whether Brief Use of a Virtual Reality Device Improves Gait

Start date: September 2013
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

A virtual reality device has already been successfully used for improving gait in adults who have neurological conditions. We will evaluate if it is feasible to study the brief use of this device in older adults who have had falls.

NCT ID: NCT01858493 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Continence Across Continents to Upend Stigma and Dependency

CACTUS-D
Start date: May 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To determine whether women exposed to the continence promotion intervention will report improved urinary symptoms and quality of life, and lower incontinence-related stigma and falls than women who receive a control intervention at one-year post-intervention.

NCT ID: NCT01229969 Completed - Falls, Accidental Clinical Trials

A Pilot Study of the Wii Fit as a Low-Cost Virtual Reality System to Evaluate Balance Ability in Older Adults

WiiFit
Start date: August 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Accidental falls in older adults are highly prevalent and a major source of morbidity. Over 30% of people aged 65 or older fall each year with about half of these cases being recurrent. Falls may result in head trauma, bone fractures, and even death and are leading cause of both nonfatal and fatal injuries in older adults. The Nintendo Wii Fit is a suite of exercise and fitness video games using a balance board periphery developed for the Wii console. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and validity of the Nintendo Wii Fit, in detecting balance problems in older community dwelling adults.20 ambulatory older adults will be recruited to participate in this study.Subject will be asked to complete 1 study visit. In this visit information will be gathered about the subjects overall health including fall assessments. Qualified subjects will be randomized into two study groups where one group will begin the study with Wii Fit testing followed by NeuroCom EquiTest evaluation and the other group in reversed order.
