Filter by:This study aims to identify, in patients undergoing hip and knee joint replacement, the functional evaluation tools predictive of the risk of falling upon admission to the orthopedic department and to correlate the results obtained with clinical evaluation scales that are generally used for fall risk stratification and the number of falls actually occurring both in the orthopedic department and in the rehabilitation department.
Objective: To compare short-term and medium-term effectiveness of a multimodal program that integrates a program of therapeutic exercise, medication review, adequacy of diet and health education, compared with standard medical practice in improving neuromuscular and physiological status on frail elderly. Another aim is to analyze the maintenance of these effects by monitoring long-term (12 months) from the start of the intervention. Design: Randomized controlled trial Scope / Study subjects: recruited frail elderly in Basic Health Zone of Malaga. Methods: The subjects to be included in the study (after meeting inclusion / exclusion) will be randomized into two groups: a control group whose intervention will be to review medication + adequacy of diet + health education (physical activity recommendation (within a comprehensive advice on healthy lifestyles) and an experimental group whose intervention will be a Multimodal Intervention: therapeutic exercise + review medication + adequacy of diet + health education program. Sociodemographic, Clinical and monitoring Variables will be collected at baseline. Moreover, tracking variables will be collected at 2 and 6 months after starting the intervention and at 3 and 6 months after the end of the intervention (monitoring). The monitoring variables that will be measured are: BMI , general health, fatigue, brittleness, Motor Control, Attention - Concentration - Memory, Motor Memory , spatial orientation, grip strength, balance (static - semi-static and dynamic ), gait speed and metabolomic variables. One descriptive analysis of the sociodemographic variables of the participants will be performed. Further the change on the variables intra-subjects (pre-post intervention) and inter-subjects (experimental group vs control group) will be calculated. For the intra-subject analysis will be performed a ANOVA-one factor analysis. The intersubject outcome variables will be compared between the two groups in each moments of data collection, using the student t-test or Wilconxon (depending of the sample distribution). The level of significance was set at P ≤ 0.05.
