简要总结
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of Steady Feet, a three-month community-based falls prevention exercise program.
详细描述
Participants aged 60 or older, at high risk of falls, with Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) scores between 7 and 11, and without significant cognitive or vision impairment, were recruited for a non-randomized, two-arm study. They were evaluated at baseline and the third month. The intervention group (IG) underwent Steady Feet and CGH's standard care for fall prevention, while the control group (CG) received CGH's standard care for fall prevention. Feasibility was assessed across Bowen's domains, including acceptability, demand, implementation, practicality, adaptation, and limited efficacy. Measurements included SPPB, Timed Up and Go, the 6-minute walk test, the Four-Square Step Test, the CONFbal scale, and a satisfaction survey administered to IG participants. Between-groups statistical analyses will be performed.

结局指标
主要结局
Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)
时间窗: an average of 12 weeks
SPPB comprises three components, (i) static balance, (ii) gait speed, and (iii) chair stands. A higher score on the SPPB is indicative of better physical functional status (maximum score of 12 points).
次要结局
- Feedback and satisfaction survey(an average of 12 weeks)
- Four square step test (FSST)(an average of 12 weeks)
- Timed up and go (TUG)(an average of 12 weeks)
- Six-minute walk test (6MWT)(an average of 12 weeks)
