Abstract:
Effective and safe swallowing is one of the basic needs for human survival. Dysphagia or swallowing disorders often occur in the elderly and increase with age. Patients often do not complain of dysphagia and compensate by modifying the texture of the food. Frailty is associated with an increased prevalence of dysphagia. Difficulty of chewing, formation and positioning bolus are associated with dysphagia. In addition, dysphagia can cause weakness because there is a disturbance due to decrease nutritional status, muscle function, and can cause recurrent aspiration pneumonia. Frailty and dysphagia can be described as a cycle and affect each other. Several interventions were carried out to overcome dysphagia, either compensatory, rehabilitative, or a combination of both.

Abstract:
Objective. Firstly, to, through instrumentation with theiPhone4smartphone, measure and describe variability of tridimensional acceleration, angular velocity, and displacement of the trunk in the turn transition during the ten-meter Extended Timed-Get-up-and-Go test in two groups of frail and physically active elderly persons. Secondly, to analyse the differences and performance of the variance between the study groups during turn transition (frail and healthy).Design. This is a cross-sectional study of 30 subjects over 65 years, 14 frail subjects, and 16 healthy subjects.Results. Significant differences were found between the groups of elderly persons in the accelerometry (P<0.01) and angular displacement variables (P<0.05), obtained in the kinematic readings of the trunk during the turning transitions. The results obtained in this study show a series of deficits in the frail elderly population group.Conclusions. The inertial sensor found in theiPhone4is able to study and analyse the kinematics of the turning transitions in frail and physically active elderly persons. The accelerometry values for the frail elderly are lower than the physically active elderly, whilst variability in the readings for the frail elderly is also lower than the control group.

Abstract:
The elderly are the fastest growing proportion of the world population. Additional increase in longevity, brought about by improved medical technology, will impact significantly on the health care system as, with advancing age comes a variety of acute and chronic health conditions. No matter how fit, advancing age leads to reduction in mobility and physical function, and these changes, affect quality of gait and the capacity for functional and safe ambulation. With the frail elderly, gait impairments are often severe and impact on health and quality of life. Given that improving walking capacity among the elderly is a desired goal, a structured review was conducted - Manuscript 1 - to derive a global estimate for elderly people of the effectiveness of walking training in improving walking related outcomes. The review included publications on MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library published in English or Portuguese in peer-reviewed journals. Effect sizes of walking programs in these articles were estimated and forest plotted; there was no overall significant effect of walking training on walking distance or gait speed. Some individual studies showed large effect sizes but were underpowered; others showed small effect sizes. Heterogeneity in population and the nature, frequency and intensity of training indicates that this important question is not yet answered and further research is needed.
The second manuscript presents the results of a pilot study designed to provide supporting data for a future trial testing a novel walking training strategy - Nordic style pole walking. The purpose of the pilot study was to estimate, for frail elderly persons undergoing physical rehabilitation, the relative efficacy in improving functional walking capacity of two gait training interventions: Nordic Walking and Overground Walking. A randomized controlled trial of 30 participants from two rehabilitations centers of the Greater Montreal Area was carried out: 14 randomized to Nordic Walking and 16 randomized to Overground Walking. Effect sizes for Nordic Walking were moderate for 6MWT (ES = 0.5), large for gait speed (ES = 0.9), and small for fear of falling (E.S = 0.4). Overground Walking showed moderate effects sizes for 6MWT (ES = 0.5) and small ones for gait speed (E.S = 0.4) and fear of falling (E.S = 0.3). After calculating the effectiveness ratio of both interventions, Nordic Walking was 125% more effective in improving gait speed than regular Overground Walking among a frail elderly population. Future trials with large sample sizes are needed to corroborate these results.
Les personnes âgées forment la tranche de la population mondiale dont la croissance est la plus rapide. De plus, l'augmentation de l'espérance de vie grâce aux avancées technologiques en médecine va affecter de façon considérable le système de santé. En effet, le vieillissement de la population implique une diminution des fonctions physiques. Ces diminutions influence la marche et la capacité de se déplacer de façon fonctionnelle et sécuritaire. Une intervention, destinée à améliorer la marche pourrait améliorer la santé et la qualité de vie des personnes âgées fragiles. En premier lieu, une revue structurée de la littérature a été effectuée (Manuscrit 1) afin d'évaluer l'efficacité des programmes couramment utilisés afin d'améliorer la marche chez les personnes âgées. Les banques de données MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL et Cochrane Library ont permis de trouver des articles anglais ou portugais publiés dans des journaux révisés par les pairs. La taille d'effet de ces programmes de marche ont étés estimés puis illustrés dans un graphique en arbre. Aucun programme de marche n'améliorait significativement l'endurance ou la vitesse de marche. Dans ces études, les programmes avec une taille d'effet importante avaient une puissance statistique faible et les autres programmes avaient une taille d'effet réduite. Afin d'identifier et d'estimer l'efficacité d'interventions destinées à améliorer la marche chez les personnes âgées, d'autres études sont nécessaires.
Le second manuscrit a évalué l'efficacité de deux interventions destinées à améliorer la capacité fonctionnelle de marche chez les personnes âgées fragiles. Un projet pilote de type essai clinique randomisé a comparé la marche nordique au programme « overground walking ». Trente participants en provenance de deux centres de réadaptation de la région de Montréal ont été aléatoirement placés dans la marche nordique (n=14) et dans le « overground walking » (n= 16). Pour la marche nordique, la taille d'effet pour le 6MWT était modérée (ES=0.5), celle de vitesse de marche était importante (ES=0.9), et celle pour la peur de chuter était petite (ES=0.4). Pour le « overground walking », la taille d'effet pour le 6MWT était modéré (ES= 0.5). La taille d'effet pour la vitesse de marche était petite (E.S. = 0.4) tout comme celle pour la peur de chuter (E.S = 0.3). Les ratios d'efficacité pour les deux interventions ont démontré qu'en comparaison avec le « overground walking » la marche nordique est 125% plus efficace pour améliorer la vitesse de marche chez les personnes âgées fragiles. D'autres études avec de plus large échantillons sont nécessaires pour corroborer ces résultats.

Abstract:
As our population ages, the proportion of frail elderly people requiring assisted accommodation in aged care facilities is increasing. This population is at high risk of falls and fractures, which bring significant morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of osteoporosis also increases with age, but there have been few studies of bone density in residents of hostels and nursing homes. This thesis looked at the prevalence of osteoporosis and falls in elderly people in residential care, to define the size of the problem and identify risk factors for low bone density and falling, with particular reference to vitamin D levels. Two thousand and five men and women aged between 65 and 104 years were enrolled in the Falls and Fracture Risk in the Elderly Epidemiology (FREE) study between 1999 and 2003. The key findings from analysis of this population were firstly, that quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measures were higher in men than women independent of age, and that in men there was no significant decline in either BUA or VOS, but in women BUA declined by over 3% per decade and VOS by 1% per decade. Both ultrasound machines used in the study were shown to be reliable, with precision unaffected by advanced age. QUS was found to be sensitive to longitudinal change even in this frail elderly cohort. Vitamin D deficiency was found in the majority of elderly aged care facility residents but supplementation conferred higher serum 25-OH-vitamin D levels. Vitamin D levels were not shown to be related to BUA, VOS or the risk of falling in this population. Serum parathyroid hormone might be important in determining future falls risk. In summary, the results of this thesis give an important insight into the prevalence of osteoporosis and falls in the frail elderly, and how these might be predicted. Future study of prospective fracture rates in this group will then be able to assess relative risk factors for osteoporotic fracture, and identify those individuals who might benefit from directed fracture prevention strategies.

Abstract:
Background: The worldwide ageing demographic trend has resulted in a growing number of frail elderly who are in the last stages of autonomous living. Oral nutritional interventions for the frail elderly address the body’s natural weight loss, sometimes reversing weight loss, though the literature is not of one accord. No review of nutritional interventions has been conducted for community-dwelling frail elderly, who are most likely to benefit from these interventions and delay adverse outcomes. Objective: (i) This systematic review analyzes results from randomized controlled trials of oral nutrition interventions for the community-dwelling frail elderly to determine their efficacy in making gains in nutritional and functional status. (ii) The secondary objective is to analyze the quality of the studies in this review and draw conclusions for further areas of development in the field of nutrition in elderly care. Methods: Randomized controlled trials of oral nutritional supplements were searched in The Cochrane Library and PubMed, and hand searched in reference lists of systematic reviews. These interventions targeted protein-energy deficiency and included oral supplementation or supplementation paired with exercise compared to a placebo or usual practice. Community-dwelling frail elderly not institutionalized or hospitalized were eligible. Studies targeting disease-specific elderly were excluded. Results: Out of 120 search results, six trials were included in this review. A small weight gain from oral nutritional interventions among frail community-dwelling elderly was reported in five out of six studies. Functional status did not improve significantly with the interventions. Studies used unstandardized definitions and different ways to measure outcomes, resulting in heterogeneity. Conclusions: The few and poor quality of studies demonstrates the need for more studies of better quality and homogeneity assessing oral nutritional interventions for nutritional and functional gain in frail elderly who are not yet suffering from adverse outcomes.

Abstract:
The increasing number of older people requires serious attention from policy makers and service providers if a crisis in care is to be avoided. This paper presents a biographical study of 9 months in the life of an elderly couple, looking at the problems experienced by them and their family when dealing with different stages of health and social care provision. The study covered periods of general health, hospitalization, reablement and separation. Studying the events arising in each period has provided insights into the requirements of the frail elderly and the adequacy of current provision.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: We performed a meta-analysis to assess the impact of prehabilitation before colorectal surgery on functional outcome and postoperative complications in patients with frailty. Condition being studied: Colorectal cancer is a common disease in the elderly, and over 65 years of age accounts for more than 50% of all patients with colorectal cancer. The patients with colorectal cancer surgery showed 8.7% major morbidity and mortality and 31.6% minor complications. The high complication rate of patients with colorectal surgery is related to the fact that there are many elderly patients. Frailty is common in elderly patients, and the frailty is associated with adverse perioperative outcomes. The frail patients with colorectal surgery showed worse postoperative morbidity, mortality and prolonged length of hospital stay. Although the frailty results from irresistible aging-associated decline in reserve and function across multiple physiologic systems, several attempts have been conducted to improve frailty in patients with colorectal cancer surgery and consequently improve the postoperative outcomes. Prehabilitation was one of these attempts for improving physical activity and postoperative outcomes on patients with frailty undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. So far, several studies conducted clinical trials for determining whether prehabilitation has positive effect on improving postoperative outcomes in patients with frailty undergoing colorectal surgery. However, the results of these previous studies are controversial.
