Abstract:

The aim of the work was to develop a group-based fall prevention program for community-living stroke survivors by adapting an evidence-based fall prevention program, Stepping On. This thesis comprises of five studies using mixed methodologies. The first study, a systematic review and meta-analysis confirmed that fall risk factors in this studied group are multifactorial and suggested that interventions should be multi-dimensional. In the second study, semi-structured interviews with community-living stroke survivors and caregivers conducted in Singapore identified the common self-perceived f

Abstract:

Falling significantly affects quality of life, morbidity, and mortality among older adults. We sought to evaluate the prospective association between sedentary time, physical activity, and falling among post-menopausal women aged 50-79 years recruited to the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study between 1993 and 1998 from 40 clinical centers across the United States. Baseline (B) and change in each of the following were evaluated at year 3 (Y3) and year 6 (Y6; baseline n= 93,676; Y3 n= 76,598; Y6 n= 75,428): recreational physical activity (MET-h/wk), sitting, sleeping (min/day), and le

Abstract:

Falls are a significant health problem for the ageing population as health outcomes decline as 30% of people over the age of 65 experience at least one fall annually. Prevention interventions are well established in the literature but falls continue in high numbers in Australia, in line with global trends. General practitioners are well situated to reduce falls for community dwelling older people but research is unclear which interventions are effective in the general practice context. Using a systematic review methodology with meta-analysis this review has addressed the question of which inte

Abstract:

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease which is characterized by resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. Advanced PD is often complicated by falls, immobilisation and progressive deterioration of overall physical capability that may jointly contribute to a reduced quality of life and even to increased mortality. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for falls and mortality in PD, to assess the clinical correlates of balance and mobility, and to evaluate the association between orthostatic hypotension

Abstract:

Accidental falls remain an important healthcare issue for older people. We report on three studies examining risk predictors for further falls, falls-related hospital attendances and mortality, and then test the effectiveness of a hospital-based falls prevention intervention. A prospective study of 498 older people who attended an Emergency Department (E.D.) with a fall showed that age 80 years and older was the greatest predictor of further falls, with a 2-fold increased adjusted risk by 5 years (HR 2.00; 95% C.I. 1.42 – 2.82). Mortality following an E.D. presentation with a fall was 19% at 1

Background To determine if the QuickScreen© clinical falls risk assessment tool, can accurately predict the risk of falling in non-English speaking, community-dwelling older people. To date, the QuickScreen© has not been validated for use with this population. Method A letter/matching board was designed for use with the QuickScreen’s© low contrast acuity chart, to assist the non-English speaking participants in providing a vision response. A pilot study was conducted (n=30) to assess the validity and feasibility of this board, to be used to obtain accurate acuity regardless of language skill.

Among elderly people, falls lead to a considerable amount of immobility, morbidity, and mortality. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate methods for predicting falls, and to evaluate a fall prevention program among elderly people living in residential care facilities.

While predictors of falls and injuries have been studied across all adult inpatients, research has not specifically addressed fall risk characteristics in the middle-age.

In response to a critical analysis of these findings, a new technique and protocol for the assessment of walking stability was developed. This involved measuring and analysing head

Abstract:

As quedas atualmente constituem um importante problema de saúde pública, por gerar intercorrências á saúde do indivíduo e até levar a internações hospitalares e ao óbito. Quedas apresentam fatores causadores múltiplos, incluindo elementos ambientais extrínsecos e fatores intrínsecos como aspectos fisiológicos, musculoesqueléticos e psicossociais. O estudo sobre quedas tem privilegiado os idosos e pessoas portadoras de dor musculoesquelética, sendo que muitos idosos também têm queixa de dor. A fibromialgia é uma síndrome dolorosa de etiopatogenia desconhecida que acomete preferencialmente mulhe

A complexidade da assistência proveniente o envelhecimento populacional e adesão às ações preventivas dos idosos da comunidade são um desafio para a Atenção Primária. As quedas para este segmento populacional representam um problema de saúde pública e uma ameaça à capacidade funcional, qualidade de vida, preservação da autonomia e independência dos idosos. O interesse surgiu quando, em experiência pessoal no trabalho no setor de urgência, observou-se o elevado número de idosos que sofreram queda.

Abstract:

Introdução: A imobilização prolongada no leito pode desencadear alterações em diferentes sistemas do corpo e na capacidade funcional. Durante a internação hospitalar, o repouso acontece com frequência e alterações na funcionalidade instaladas neste período podem perdurar mesmo após a alta. Este ambiente pode induzir o paciente à inatividade física o que pode afetar principalmente a força muscular. Objetivos: Avaliar o impacto da internação hospitalar na capacidade funcional e força muscular de pacientes hospitalizados e identificar possíveis preditores de ocorrência de eventos pós alta.
