Brief Summary:
Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) aiming at assessing the efficacy of an interdisciplinary multi-component and personalized multi-factorial intervention for reducing falls at one year post-enrolment in comparison to the usual care in a sample of community dwelling elderly (age ≥65 years), with or without Parkinson's Disease and/or previous Stroke.
Detailed Description:
BACKGROUND: Current literature on fall prevention for community-dwelling elderly who are at risk of falling suggests that: 1) either single, multicomponent or multifactorial interventions are effective at preventing falls; 2) elderly at risk of falling with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and previous Stroke, although having an even greater risk of falling, are often excluded by these interventions; 3) often, present screening methods for risk of falling do not allow the early identification of subjects at risk before the first fall.
AIMS
* To compare the efficacy of an interdisciplinary multicomponent and personalized multifactorial intervention aiming at reducing falls in comparison to the usual care, in a sample of community dwelling elderly, with or without Parkinson's Disease and/or previous Stroke, within the context of an RCT.
* To improve the accuracy of screening tests for risk of falling by using wearable inertial sensors.
* To develop a reduced set of clinical and instrumental indicators, to be utilized as a quick and reliable screening tests in outpatients clinics.
METHODS: multicenter, randomized controller trial, with blind assessments on pretest, postest and on one-year follow-up.
POPULATION: community-dwelling elderly (aged ≥65 years) with age-related or neurological condition-related (Parkinson's Disease and/or Stroke) risk of falling.
INTERVENTION: interdisciplinary multi-component (group-based exercise; home-based exercise; increasing knowledge/education; home safety interventions) and personalized multi-factorial interventions (assessment and treatment of individual fall risk factors) CONTROL: structured information about participant's own personal risk factors given to the family doctor.
OUTCOMES: The primary endpoint is the fall rate at one year in both groups. The secondary endpoint is the fall risk at one year.
EXPECTED RESULTS: in the intervention group, a significant reduction in the number of total fall is expected, together with decreases indicators of utilization of acute health services because of falls. At three months, it is expected a significant improvement of functioning (motor functions, activity and participation) and health quality indicators.
