Home modifications to reduce injuries from falls in the Home Injury Prevention Intervention (HIPI) study: a cluster-randomised controlled trial

MCDM Assessment of a Healthy and Safe Built Environment According to Sustainable Development Principles: A Practical Neighborhood Approach in Vilnius

“…Buildings play a role in a person's quality of life, work and recreation, as well as health. Keall et al [48], for instance, tested the safety benefits of home modifications. The results suggest that about 38% of the home injuries studied were potentially related to a structural aspect of the home environment [49].…”

A comprehensive fracture prevention strategy in older adults: The European Union Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS) statement

“…The studies are however insufficiently powered to demonstrate a significant effect on hip fracture risk (21,24,30). Single interventions including treatment of some vision problems or carotid sinus hypersensitivity, vitamin D supplementation in deficient patients, gradual withdrawal of psychotropic medication, or improving the safety of indoor activities and outdoor walking environments are also effective for suitable patient groups in the prevention of falls, but the effect on fracture risk is not clear (21,32,33). Multifactorial interventions, a combination of interventions linked to the individual's risk profile, seem no more effective in preventing falls than single targeted interventions (e.g.…”

“…Other interventions have been ineffective or inconsistent for falls although the rate of recurrent falls may be reduced (35). A multifactorial and interprofessional approach, determined by individual assessment of functional, medical, and social concerns, may be a more appropriate strategy to prevent falls in older people at high risk of falling (20,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)36). Moreover, this tailored approach (37) may provide opportunities to address previously unidenti ed health problems (e.g.…”

Potential analysis for research on occupational therapy-led physical exercise programmes and home environment adaptation programmes to prevent falls for elderly people living at home / Potenzialanalyse zu ergotherapeutischen körperlichen Trainingsprogrammen und Wohnraumanpassungen zur Vermeidung von Stürzen bei zu Hause lebenden älteren Menschen

“…Durch die systematische Recherche konnte ein "Cochrane Review (CR)" aus dem Jahr 2012 identifiziert werden (Gillespie, Robertson, Gillespie, Sherrington, Gates, Clemson, & Lamb, 2012 (Steinberg, Cartwright, Peel, & Williams, 2000;Wilder, 2001;Day et al, 2002;Clemson et al, 2004 (Gillespie et al, 2012;Clemson et al, 2012;Burton et al, 2013a, b;Luck et al, 2013;Hill et al, 2013;Keall et al, 2015). • Weiterhin wurde neben der PI-S3 Recherche eine Cluster randomisiert kontrollierte Studie von Keall et al (2015) recherchiert (Cumming et al, 1999;Wolf et al, 2003;Korpelainen, Keinanen-Kiukaanniemi, Heikkinen, Vaananen, & Korpelainen, 2006;Voukelatos et al, 2007;Kamide, Shiba, & Shibata, 2009;Smulders et al, 2010) und in zehn Studien (Carter et al, 2002;Wolf et al, 2003;Lord et al, 2003;Skelton, Dinan, Campbell, & Rutherford, 2005;Lannin et al, 2007;Voukelatos et al, 2007;Logghe et al, 2009;Huang, Liu, Huang, & Kernohan, 2010;Smulders et al, 2010;Pighills et al, 2011) (Gillespie et al, 2012). Um das Sturzrisiko im häuslichen Umfeld einzuschätzen, wurde in drei Studien das "Westmead Home Safety Assessment" (WeHSA), welches von Clemson (1997) entwickelt wurde, eingesetzt Lannin et al, 2007;Pighills et al, 2011).…”
