Falls Clinical Trial
Official title:
Dane County Safety Assessment for Elders (SAFE) Research Study
This 3-year collaborative project will develop, implement, and test a comprehensive approach
to the prevention of falls among high-risk older adults in Dane County, Wisconsin through
two complementary strategies:
1. a targeted strategy of an individualized multifactorial intervention for
community-living high-risk older adults. Older adults are defined as aged 65 and older.
High risk is defined as two or more falls in the year prior, one fall with injury, or
one fall with gait and balance problems, as per recent guidelines from the American
Geriatric Society (AGS). The multifactorial intervention consists of an in-home
assessment followed by recommendations to the participant and his/her physician, a
prescription for physical therapy, other referrals (optometry, podiatry, occupational
therapy, etc.) based on the assessment, monthly phone follow-up for 11 months, and a
prescription for long-term exercise after physical therapy.
2. a program to educate primary care physicians, physician assistants, nurse
practitioners, and physical therapists in Dane County in the current diagnosis and
treatment recommendations for fall prevention.
