Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 66/2 (mars-avril 2012) . - p. 161-168 Titre : Feasibility of interdisciplinary community-based fall risk screening Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sharon J. ELLIOTT ; Andrada IVANESCU ; et al. ; Natalie E. LELAND Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p. 161-168 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Travail pluridisciplinaire  Risque  Chute  Prévention Résumé : OBJECTIVE. This pilot study examined the feasibility of (1) conducting interdisciplinary fall risk screens at a communitywide adult fall prevention event and (2) collecting preliminary follow-up data from people screened at the event about balance confidence and home and activity modifications made after receiving educational information at the event. METHOD. We conducted a pilot study with pre– and posttesting (4-mo follow-up) with 35 community-dwelling adults ≥55 yr old. RESULTS. Approximately half the participants were at risk for falls. Most participants who anticipated making environmental or activity changes to reduce fall risk initiated changes (n = 8/11; 72.7%) during the 4-mo follow-up period. We found no significant difference in participants’ balance confidence between baseline (median = 62.81) and follow-up (median = 64.06) as measured by the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale. CONCLUSION. Conducting interdisciplinary fall risk screens at an adult fall prevention event is feasible and can facilitate environmental and behavior changes to reduce fall risk.

Occupational therapy in fall prevention / Natalie E. LELAND in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 66/2 (mars-avril 2012)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 66/2 (mars-avril 2012) . - p. 149-160 Titre : Occupational therapy in fall prevention : current evidence and future directions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Natalie E. LELAND ; Sharon J. ELLIOTT ; et al. ; Lisa O'MALLEY Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p. 149-160 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Chute  Personne âgée  Etats Unis  Ergothérapie Résumé : Falls are a serious public health concern among older adults in the United States. Although many fall prevention recommendations exist, such as those published by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) and the British Geriatrics Society (BGS) in 2010, the specific role of occupational therapy in these efforts is unclear. This article presents a scoping review of current published research documenting the role of occupational therapy in fall prevention interventions among community-dwelling older adults, structured by the AGS and BGS guidelines. We identified evidence for occupational therapy practitioner involvement in fall prevention in environmental modifications, exercise, and multifactorial and multicomponent interventions. Although research documenting the efficacy of occupational therapy interventions is identified as part of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process (2nd ed.; American Occupational Therapy Association, 2008), we identified little or no such research examining interventions to modify behaviors (e.g., fear of falling), manage postural hypotension, recommend appropriate footwear, and manage medications. Although occupational therapy is represented in the fall prevention research, the evidence for the profession’s role in many areas is still lacking.
