Measuring Fall Risk And Predicting Who Will Fall: Clinimetric Properties Of Four Fall Risk Assessment Tools For Residential Aged Care, Anna Barker, Jennifer Nitz, Nancy Low Choy, Terry Haines
Nancy Low Choy
Background: The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to describe the clinimetric evaluation of four fall risk assessment tools (FRATs) recommended in best practice guidelines for use in residential aged care (RAC). Methods: Eighty-seven residents, mean age 81.59 years ( SD ± 10.69), participated. The Falls Assessment Risk and Management Tool (FARAM), Peninsula Health Fall Risk Assessment Tool (PHFRAT), Queensland Fall Risk Assessment Tool (QFRAT), and Melbourne Fall Risk Assessment Tool (MFRAT) were completed at baseline, and 2 and 4 months, and falls occurring in the 6 months after the baseline assessment were recorded. Interrater agreement (kappa), predictive accuracy …

The Efficacy Of A Balance Strategy Training Circuit For Community Based Elders Who Have Had A Fall, Jennifer Nitz, Nancy Low Choy
The Efficacy Of A Balance Strategy Training Circuit For Community Based Elders Who Have Had A Fall, Jennifer Nitz, Nancy Low Choy
Nancy Low Choy
Background:
Older people participate in exercise programmes to reduce the risk of falls but no study has investigated a specific balance strategy training intervention presented in a workstation format for small groups.
Objective:
To determine whether a specific balance strategy training programmeme delivered in a workstation format was superior to a community based exercise class programme for reducing falls.
Design:
A randomised controlled trial model.
Setting:
Neurological Disorders, Ageing and Balance Clinic, Department of Physiotherapy, The University of Queensland.
Subjects:
73 males and females over 60 years, living independently in the community and who had fallen in the previous year …
Changes In Postural Stability In Women Aged 20 To 80 Years, Nancy Low Choy, Sandra Brauer, Jennifer Nitz
Changes In Postural Stability In Women Aged 20 To 80 Years, Nancy Low Choy, Sandra Brauer, Jennifer Nitz
Nancy Low Choy
Background.
A study of postural stability was undertaken to identify the relationship between vision and support surface across age decades. Understanding when reliance on vision for postural stability emerges and the support conditions contributing to this instability may provide the evidence required to introduce falls-prevention strategies in younger age decades.
Methods.
We measured postural stability in 453 women aged 20 to 80 years using the Balance Master force-plate system while the women performed the modified Clinical Test for the Sensory Interaction and Balance (firm and foam surfaces, eyes open and closed) and the Single-Limb Stance Test (eyes open and closed). …
