Guidelines for the prevention of falls in people over 65

BMJ 2000; 321 doi: 10.1136/bmj.321.7267.1007 (Published 21 October 2000)

ABSTRACT

Older people frequently fall. This is a serious public health problem, with a substantial impact on health and healthcare costs.1 These guidelines translate trial evidence about prevention of falls into recommendations that can be implemented in different settings, with the aim of reducing the rate of falls and injurious falls in people over 65 (see boxes 2 3).

Summary points

Multifaceted interventions reduce falls in older people (those over 65)

Home assessment of older people at risk of falls without referral or direct intervention is not recommended

Assessment of high risk residents in nursing homes with relevant referral is effective

Evidence from well designed single trials shows that assessment and modification of risk factors of older people who have presented to an accident and emergency department after a fall and the provision of hip protectors in residents of nursing homes are effective

Falls among older adults--Risk factors and prevention strategies.

 Stevens, Judy A. /Journal of Safety Research, Vol 36(4), 2005, 409-411

ABSTRACT

Among people age 65 and older, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths. Fall risk factors are often categorized as personal or environmental. Personal factors include characteristics of the individual (such as age, functional abilities, and chronic conditions) while environmental risk factors usually refer to fall hazards in and around the home (such as tripping hazards, unstable furniture, and poor lighting). After clinical assessment with risk factor reduction, the most effective single intervention was exercise. Many seniors use psychoactive medications, specifically benzodiazepines, antidepressants, and sedatives/hypnotics, which increase the risk of falling. Decreasing the use of multiple medications and specific types such as tranquilizers, sleeping pills, and anti-anxiety drugs, reduces the likelihood of falling. Home assessment and modification may be effective in reducing falls when done by trained professionals such as occupation therapists and when focused on high risk seniors. Multi-component interventions may include risk factor screening; tailored exercise or physical therapy to improve gait, balance and strength; medication management; and other elements such as education about fall risk factors, referrals to health care providers for treatment of chronic conditions that may contribute to fall risk, and having vision assessed and corrected.

Effect of physical training on postural control of elderly

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Preservation of balance in the elderly is fundamental to maintaining functional independence. Balance impairments have a tremendous impact on health care costs and quality of life. Fall prevention programs are an important health strategy, consequently there is a general need to develop effective and practical exercise programs that improve balance in the elderly.

OBJECTIVE:

To explore whether stability can be improved through exercise in inactive old subjects and to determine whether specific balance training proves to be more beneficial to retaining balance than strength training.

METHODS:

A randomized controlled study was conducted with 42 healthy elderly individuals. They were randomly allocated to three groups: Balance training (BT), Isometric training (IT) and Control (CG) received no intervention; each group consisted of 14 members. "Static" and "dynamic" postural stability were evaluated for seven postural conditions in upright standing before and immediately after 3 months of intervention using a force platform, and an isokinetic dynamometer used to determine whether the training improved muscle strength.

RESULTS:

The BT group significantly improved their forward-backward stability limits (maximal body lean) post intervention compared with other groups. Plantar and dorsiflexion isometric strength remained the same in all groups. No significant improvement was found in COP based measures in upright standing in all study groups, apart from the BT group that significantly improved parameters in performance with eyes open and during standing on a foam. BT subjects improved their self-confidence post intervention in 64.2%, while IT subjects improved in only 35.7%.

CONCLUSIONS:

Balance exercises appear to improve balance in the elderly, especially extending the boundaries of their stability a more dynamic component of balance. However it remains to be determined whether the lack of difference between groups in COP measures in upright standing ("static balance") was due to the short period of intervention, small sample size, unchallenged exercise regime or due to the inability of elderly individuals to improve their sway in upright standing.
