NCT ID: NCT03604640 Completed - Clinical trials for Functionally-Impaired Elderly

Physical Training and Health Education in Hospitalized Elderly

Start date: May 3, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Activity in GEriatric acute CARe (AGECAR) Plus Health Education is a randomized control trial to assess the effectiveness of an intrahospital exercise and health education program during short hospital stays for improving functional capacity of patients aged 75 years or older.

NCT ID: NCT03138278 Withdrawn - PTSD Clinical Trials

Impact on Family or Care-givers of Very Old ICU-survivors, Trajectories and 6 Months' Outcome in the Very Old.

VIP2
Start date: May 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It is known from extensive documentation that second victims in critical illness often are the care givers of the patients: family, friends or other persons. Although this has not been specifically studied in the very old patients, there is no reason to believe that this group will be different from other ICU patients. Even more so, in this very old age patient group there are seldom any older relatives. Partners, like wife/husband or other cohabitants, may be dead or themselves incapacitated. Many will be in institutional care. The closest care-givers will be middle-aged people such as children or others, if no partners are available. The hypothesis is that critical illness can be a large stressor to care-givers of survivors in the VIP measured as the occurrence and severity of the usual problems like PTSD and depression. The investigators hypothesize that a low-threshold on-line support program decreases the magnitude of anxiety, depression and PTSD for care-givers of very old intensive care patients (VIP) after discharge.

NCT ID: NCT03008135 Completed - Frail Elderly Clinical Trials

Reliability and Validity of the Elderly Mobility Scale, French Version

Start date: March 21, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This study evaluates the reliability of the French version of the "elderly mobility scale" and its correlation with the "frailty elderly scale "

NCT ID: NCT02157740 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Functionally-Impaired Elderly

Assessment of Teleconsulting in Nursing Homes

EVLINE
Start date: January 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to determine whether teleconsulting would be effective and cost-effective by reducing the patients transportations and the use of emergency units for nursing home residents requiring emergent or elective care.

NCT ID: NCT02062541 Completed - Clinical trials for Functionally-Impaired Elderly

Effect of Functional Assessment and Immediate Rehabilitation of ED Admitted Elderly With Reduced Functional Performance

Start date: June 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Illness and hospitalisation, even of short duration, pose separate risks for permanently reduced functional performance in elderly medical patients. Functional assessment in the acute pathway will ensure early detection of declining performance and form the basis for mobilisation during hospitalisation and subsequent rehabilitation. For optimal results rehabilitation should begin immediately after discharge. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a systematic functional assessment in the emergency departments (ED) of elderly medical patients with reduced functional performance when combined with immediate post-discharge rehabilitation. Method/design: The study is a two-way factorial randomised clinical trial. Participants will be recruited among patients admitted to the ED who are above 65 years of age with reduced functional performance. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: 1) functional assessment and immediate rehabilitation; 2) functional assessment and usual rehabilitation; 3) usual assessment and immediate rehabilitation; 4) usual assessment and usual rehabilitation. Primary outcome: 30-second chair-stand test administered at admission and two weeks after discharge. We hypothesise that such assessment in the ED or/and immediate rehabilitation will result in sustained or improved performance in comparison to regimen in which neither of these interventions are offered.

NCT ID: NCT02051725 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Functional Impairments and Exercise in Older Adults With Low Physical Function,

HANC-Pilot
Start date: November 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

- Aging is associated with a progressive and generalized deterioration of physiologic systems and greater incidence of chronic conditions, which ultimately translates into functional impairment, disability and dependency. - Physical activity and exercise have been recognized as key pillars for the management of chronic diseases in support of medical treatment, and essential to increase physiologic function, but there is only limited evidence indicating increased physical function, following exercise interventions. One of the greatest challenges in the science of aging and exercise is to understand whether and to which extent exercise and active life-style may postpone the onset of disability and/or reverse physical impairments. - Maintenance/improvements of physical function and mobility should be considered as primary targets for independent living, active engagement in societal challenges, and, more in general, when promoting "active ageing". - The aim of this study is to collect preliminary data to identify the feasibility and sustainability of an "active life-style intervention" in older adults with reduced mobility receiving a preventive home visit from the public health care authority. - This study will represent the base for a larger phase III parallel group study implemented in the public health care setting, with the specific aim of improving physical function and delay the onset of functional impairment in older adults.
