简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a falls-prevention exercise programme on health-related quality of life, fear of falling, falls and physical function in older people receiving home care. Participants in the intervention group perform the Otago exercise programme. Participants in the control group continue their usual activities.
详细描述
Falls and falls-related injuries are considered a serious public health issue in the older population. Strength and balance exercise in combination with information about falls prevention seems to be effective in reducing falls, but less is known about the effect of this kind of intervention on quality of life. This randomized controlled trial investigates the effect of a falls prevention program on health-related quality of life, fear of falling, falls and physical function in community-dwelling older people who receive home care.

结局指标
主要结局
Short Form 36 Health Survey Summary Scores
时间窗: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months
Changes in the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) summary scores from baseline to 3-months follow-up. SF-36 measures health-related quality of life. Its summary score is comprised of a physical component summary (PCS) and a mental component summary (MCS). The scores range from 0-100 (worst-best) in each scale. A positive change in the summary score indicates a better health-related quality of life.
