RCT to Reduce Further Falls and Injuries for Older Fallers Presenting to an Emergency Department
Condition: |
Accidental Falls |
Intervention: |
Behavioral: a customised multifactorial Falls prevention program |
Outcome Measures: |
To evaluate the effectiveness of a customised multifactorial intervention in reducing Falls and Falls related injury rates, compared to "usual care".; To accurately identify the circumstances, contributory factors and consequences of Falls for older people presenting to Emergency Departments following a Fall.; To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention program in improving secondary health and well-being measures, including physical, psychological (fear of Falling, depression), and quality of life indices.; To identify the physical, functional, and cognitive (executive function) parameters most strongly associated with good outcomeTo conduct an economic evaluation of the interventions and outcomes.; To provide guidelines for future management of high risk older people presenting to Emergency departments. |
