Increased awareness, interest and use of assistive technology (AT) presents substantial opportunities for many citizens to become, or continue being, meaningful participants in society. However, there is a significant shortfall between the need provision AT, this patterned by range social, demographic structural factors. To seize opportunity that offers, regional, national sub-national policies are urgently required. This paper was developed through discussion at Global Research, Innovation...
Diabet. Med. 27, 162–168 (2010) Abstract Background Older people with diabetes mellitus (DM) may be at high risk of falling because general factors for falls as well disease‐specific factors. Aims To determine the prevalence and to investigate lower‐limb in older DM. Methods Sixty patients DM over 55 years age were recruited. ‘Fallers’ those who self‐reported least one fall previous year. In addition status demographic information, following assessed: neuropathy symptom score (NSS),...

Standing balance is imperative for mobility and avoiding falls. Use of an excessive number standing measures has limited the synthesis intervention data hampered consistent clinical practice.To develop recommendations a core outcome set (COS) research practice among adults.A combination scoping reviews, literature appraisal, anonymous voting face-to-face meetings with fourteen invited experts from range disciplines international recognition in measurement falls prevention.

This paper reviews the current capacity of personnel in enabling access to assistive technology (AT) as well systems and processes within which they work, was reviewed, discussed, refined during following Global Research, Innovation, Education Assistive Technology (GREAT) Summit.Key concepts addressed include a person-centred team approach; sustainability indicators monitor, measure, respond needs for service design delivery; education, research, training competent practice, using six...
Objective When appraising the quality of randomised clinical trial (RCTs) on merits exercise therapy, we typically limit our assessment to methods. However, heterogeneity across studies can also be caused by differences in interventions (ie, ‘the potential effectiveness a specific intervention given target group patients’)—a challenging concept assess. We propose an internationally developed, consensus-based tool that aims assess therapy programmes studied RCTs: international Consensus...
Cochrane Rehabilitation bridges rehabilitation research and the community to enhance evidence dissemination quality. The year 2022 marked its sixth anniversary with a revision of mission, vision, goals. Knowledge translation towards global south health policymakers, education will be focused more. Key activities included transition project-based work, extensive review tagging literature, publication “Cochrane Corners.” In addition, it on communication, launching educational methodological...
By 2030, the global population of people older than 60 years is expected to be higher number children under 10 years, resulting in major health and social care system implications worldwide. Without a supportive environment, whether or built, diminished functional ability may arise people. Functional comprises an individual's intrinsic capacity people's interaction with their environment enabling them do what they value.
Purpose: We applied the grounded theory method to explore post discharge concerns of older people after fall-induced hip fracture repair. It was anticipated that this understanding would increase awareness issues may impact on recovery and rehabilitation. Method: Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 19 home. Initially, purposive sampling guided data collection thereafter theoretical employed. Interviews analysed using constant comparative method. Results: generated a how 'take...
