Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of an adapted evidence-based program (REBIL) to reduce barriers to community participation and remove fall hazards at home for adults aging with physical disabilities.
Detailed Description
Investigators will test the working hypothesis that the adapted program, focused on resolving environmental barriers, removing fall hazards, and building self-management skills in the home and community, will be feasible and superior to usual care for daily activity performance and participation outcomes in adults aging with physical disabilities.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
In-Home Occupational Performance Evaluation (I-HOPE) Activity Score
Time Frame: Baseline and 6-month follow up
The In-Home Occupational Performance Evaluation (I-HOPE) activity score measures current activity patterns of participants across 44 activities. The score ranges from 0 to 1.0, with a higher score indicating fewer problematic activities for the participant.
In-Home Occupational Performance Evaluation (I-HOPE) Performance Score
Time Frame: Baseline and 6-month follow up
The In-Home Occupational Performance Evaluation (I-HOPE) performance score is a mean rating across up to 10 participant-prioritized activities on a scale of 1 (unable to perform the activity at all) to 5 (able to perform the activity without difficulty).
In-Home Occupational Performance Evaluation (I-HOPE) Satisfaction Score
Time Frame: Baseline and 6-month follow up
The In-Home Occupational Performance Evaluation (I-HOPE) satisfaction score is a mean rating across up to 10 participant-prioritized activities on a scale of 1 (not satisfied at all with the performance of the activity) to 5 (very satisfied with their performance of the activity).
In-Home Occupational Performance Evaluation (I-HOPE) Barrier Severity Score
Time Frame: Baseline and 6-month follow up
The In-Home Occupational Performance Evaluation (I-HOPE) barrier severity score is a total sum of barrier ratings (0=independent with/without a device, 1=stand-by assistance needed, 2=minimum assistance needed, 3=moderate assistance needed, 4=maximum assistance needed, 5=no activity) for all identified barriers across up to 10 prioritized activities. Multiple barriers could be identified for each prioritized activity. Higher scores indicate greater barrier severity. There is no maximum score.
Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI)
Time Frame: Baseline and 6-month follow-up
The Reintegration to Normal Living Index is a disability-related quality-of life-instrument that will be used to measure participants' satisfaction with their home and community participation and has been validated on a population of community-dwelling individuals with chronic conditions. It uses an 11-item, 10 point visual analog scale with higher scores indicating greater reintegration to normal living. The sum score is divided by 110 and then multiplied by 100 to obtain an adjusted score. Adjusted scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater reintegration to normal living.
Westmead Home Safety Assessment (WeHSA) Short Form
Time Frame: Baseline and 6-month follow up
The Westmead Home Safety Assessment (WeHSA) short form is a performance-based assessment of fall hazards in different spaces of the home (e.g., kitchen, bathroom, hallway, bedroom etc.). WeSHA scores indicate the total number of environmental fall hazards in the home.
Secondary Outcomes
- Fall Prevention Strategy Survey (FPSS)(Baseline and 6-month follow-up)
- Participation Scale(Baseline and 6-month follow-up)
- Fall Rate(6 months)
