简要总结
Fall prevention programs should include strength and balance training, home hazard assessment and intervention, vision assessment and referral and also medication review with modification/withdrawal. Evidence exists that a tailored exercise program can reduce falls by as much as 54%.
Several studies recognize the benefits of the Otago Exercise Program (OEP) on physical functioning and falls reduction in older people. The program includes strength and balance exercises with a difficulty level progression by increasing weights and number of repetitions, in association with a walking plan.
FallSensing clinical tool includes a software, a pressure platform and two inertial sensors. The software includes a range of exercises based on Otago Exercise Program, including warming, balance and strength exercises. The software allows that healthcare professional prescribes a tailored exercise program according to the individual needs. During exercise performance, pressure distribution can be analysed by the healthcare professional, providing real time feedback to the individual.
