Community Dwelling Older Adults

Studien undersöker genomförbarheten av ett nytt judoinspirerat träningsprogram för äldre personer, Judo4Balance. Vi utvärderade genomförbarheten inför en fullskalig studie genom att följa studieprocess, resurshantering och vetenskapliga aspekter. Ytterligare utfallsmått var fysisk funktion, tilltro till egen förmåga att utföra aktiviteter utan att falla samt falltekniker. Interventionen bedömdes vara genomförbar, med vissa ändringar i träningsprogrammets längd. Vi kunde se signifikanta förbättringar av fysisk funktion och falltekniker. När det gäller tilltro till egen förmåga att utföra aktiviteter utan att falla fann vi ingen motsvarande skillnad. Judo4Balance är ett genomförbart och effektivt träningsprogram för äldre personer. Studien bidrar till ett säkert och noggrant planerat protokoll för en större studie. Resultaten tyder på att interventionen kan vara effektiv för att förebygga fallolyckor och minska risken för skador vid ett eventuellt fall.   Pilot study of the feasibility of Judo4Balance – a fall preventive exercise programme targeting older adults living in their own homes The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of Judo4Balance, a novel judo-inspired exercise intervention for community-dwelling older adults. The feasibility of carrying out a full-scale study was evaluated by the following: the study process, resource management and scientific aspects. The outcome measures evaluated were physical performance, fall related self-efficacy and fall techniques (backwards and forwards) among the older adults. The intervention was judged to be feasible in the different settings, with some changes regarding duration of the intervention. Significant improvements were seen in physical performance and fall techniques, but not for fall related self-efficacy. Judo4Balance is a feasible intervention for active older adults. This study will provide a safe and thoroughly planned protocol for the planned study and provides indication of appropriate setting depending on the target group. The results suggest that the intervention could be efficent in preventing fall accidents, or lower the risk of injury in case of a fall.

Aim:To describe objectively-measured physical activity levels and patterns among community-dwelling older adults with osteoporosis, impaired balance, and fear of falling, and to explore the associations with gait, balance performance, falls self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).Methods:Ninety-four individuals (75.6 ± 5.4 years) were included. Physical activity was assessed with pedometers and accelerometers. Mean steps/day, dichotomized into < 5,000 or = 5,000 steps/day, and time spent in different physical activity intensities were analyzed. Gait was assessed with a GAITRite walkway, balance performance was assessed with the modified figure-eight test and oneleg stance, falls self-efficacy was assessed with the Falls Efficacy Scale International, and HRQoL was assessed with Short Form-36.Results:Mean steps/day were 6,201 (991–17,156) and 40% reported < 5,000 steps/day. Participants with < 5,000 steps/day spent more time sedentary, had slower gait speed, poorer balance performance, and lower HRQoL than participants with ≥ 5,000 steps/day. No participants with < 5,000 met the recommended level of physical activity.
