About this study
Official title: Interventions to Prevent Falls in Elderly People Who Live at Home. PRECAISAL Study
This study aims to guide older people living in the community on appropriate strategies within a fall prevention program. This program is aimed at training in physical exercises carried out through group workshops or at preventing risk situations at home.
Read the detailed description
Two-arm, non-blind, non-inferiority experimental design. Multicenter, randomized trial.
The study tries to assess whether a group intervention following the principles of the LiFE program is no less effective than individual intervention in reducing the incidence of falls.
- Conditions
- Accidental Falls, Old Age; Debility, Activity, Motor
- Being tested
- Individual treatment, Groupal treatment
- Medical subject headings
- Frailty, Motor Activity
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Individual treatmentBehavioural
Participants will receive 7 home visits to implement the program.
Groupal treatmentBehavioural
Subjects will participate in groups of about 8 - 12 to implement the program.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Individual treatment | Active comparator | The strength and balance activities of the LiFE program will be carried out. Participants will receive 7 home visits and will be given the support material for the manual (diptychs, pictures, etc.). Receives: Behavioral: Individual treatment |
| Groupal treatment | Experimental | The strength and balance activities of the LiFE program will be carried out. Participants will be invited to participate in groups of about 8 - 12 people in community venues. Receives: Behavioral: Groupal treatment |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence of falls
Number of falls in relation to the degree of physical activity
Measured: 6 months
Physical activity
It will be evaluated with a digital pedometer
Measured: 9 days
Cost-effectiveness
Evaluated by the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio
Measured: 6 months
Health effects
They are measured using quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) based on the EQ-5D-5
Measured: 6 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Fear of falling
It will be assessed using the Short Falls International Scale of Efficacy. This scale measures of "concerns about falling". This scale has 7 items with a Likert scale with 4 options: 1) not at all concerned, 2) somewhat concerned, 3) fairly concerned, and 4) very concerned.
Measured: 6 months
Adherence to exercise
It will be assessed using the Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS). This scale is composed of 16 items and they were scored using a 5-point Likert scale (0 = completely agree to 4 = completely disagree) with a possible summed score range from 0 to 64.
Measured: 6 months
