This co-creation study aimed to develop a smartphone self-test application for balance and leg strength in collaboration between older adults the research team. The paper describes participants’ preferences for, their contribution to, design. Technology assess movements is available smartphones with built-in sensors, one of challenges valuable adults. participants contributed design application’s instructions user interface. Multiple data collection methods were used: user-test Think aloud...
Abstract Background Fall prevention exercise programmes are known to be effective, but access these is not always possible. The use of eHealth solutions might a way forward increase and reach wider population. In this feasibility study the aim was explore choice programme, adherence, self-reported experiences comparing two – digital programme paper booklet. Methods A participant preference trial self-managed fall interventions. Community-dwelling adults aged 70 years older exercised...
The evolving use of sensors to objectively assess movements is a potentially valuable addition clinical assessments. We have developed new self-test application prototype, MyBalance, in the context fall prevention aimed for by older adults order independently balance and functional leg strength. objective this study was investigate concurrent validity between instruments variables collected with smartphone. prototype has two test procedures: static standing positions, strength performed as...
During the 1990s most western European and Organization of Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) countries experienced financial difficulties were forced to cut back on or restrain health care expenditures. Home rehabilitation has received attention in recent years because its potential for cost containment. Often forgotten, however, is redistribution costs from one caregiver another. The aim this study was analyse whether a occurs between providers (the County councils) social welfare...
Little is known about associations between performance-based measurements and self-reported scales, nor ceiling effects or sensitivity to change evaluate in the target population for self-managed exercise interventions. This study aimed explore feasibility of using outcomes gait speed, functional leg strength balance, falls-efficacy ability two falls prevention interventions community dwelling older adults.Independent living, community-dwelling adults (n = 67) exercised with one programmes,...
Brief episodes of low oxygen breathing (therapeutic acute intermittent hypoxia; tAIH) may serve as an effective plasticity-promoting primer to enhance the effects transcutaneous spinal stimulation-enhanced walking therapy (WALKtSTIM) in persons with chronic (>1 year) cord injury (SCI). Pre-clinical studies rodents SCI show that tAIH and WALKtSTIM therapies harness complementary mechanisms plasticity maximize recovery. Here, we present a multi-site clinical trial protocol designed examine...
