Falls Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effectiveness of the Montpellier Falls Clinic in Preventing Injuries in Older High-risk Adults
A falls prevention clinic opened in Montpellier (France) in 2015. The objective of the project is to evaluate whether the tailored multifactorial programme delivered in this real practice setting by a geriatrician, a podiatrist, a physiotherapist, and a occupational therapist would help prevent injuries in high-risk older patients using a 6-month pre-post intervention analysis.
The Montpellier falls prevention clinic is a referral-based clinic specialized in the
prevention of falls and fractures among patients aged 65+
(http://www.chu-montpellier.fr/fr/crepc/). The FPC that opened in 2015 is a member of the
European Commission in its European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP
on AHA) A2 action plan. The main mission of the clinic is to identify the underlying causes
of the patients' falls, and to address modifiable risk factors in collaboration with family
physicians in order to prevent injurious falls.
Based on a geriatric assessment performed by a geriatrician, a podologist, a occupational
therapist, and a physiotherapist, the likely diagnoses and recommendations are notified in
the medical report that is handed over to the patient or the caregiver for the patient's GP,
along with the prescriptions, and sent also by mail to the GP. Recommendations remain under
the GP's control with the possibility of another consultation if needed.
All patients admitted to the FPC are reassessed by phone at 3 months to register falls and
injuries, and at 6 months to register falls and injuries, assess fear of falling, mobility
and ability to perform activities of daily living, and satisfaction for the programme, and
list proposed measures effectively applied.
