Older adults with low vision are especially vulnerable to falls. There are no comprehensive reviews of fall prevention interventions for older adults with vision loss who live in the community. Purpose. The aim of this study was to review the evidence regarding community-based falls prevention interventions that appear inclusive of and/or accessible to individuals with low vision. Method. A scoping review was completed using the framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley, and the charted data were analyzed using sums and percentages and qualitative content analysis. Findings. Seventeen publications were selected for this review. The analysis allowed for a thorough description of the types of falls prevention interventions (multiple components, home safety/modification, tai chi, the Alexander Technique, improvement of vision through vision assessment and referral, vision/agility training, and yoga), how each intervention addresses vision impairment, and the relation of results to falls risk. Implications. Falls prevention research targeting individuals with visual impairment is limited, and the intervention approaches available may not be effective for older adults with permanent vision loss.

Understanding the occupational performance experiences of individuals with low vision / Sarah E. Blaylock in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Volume 78 numéro 7 (Juillet 2015)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Volume 78 numéro 7 (Juillet 2015) . - p.412-421 Titre : Understanding the occupational performance experiences of individuals with low vision Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sarah E. Blaylock, Auteur ; Beth A. Barstow, Auteur ; Laura K. Vogtle, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.412-421 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Activities of daily living  leisure  occupational therapy Résumé : Introduction Occupational therapy practitioners who provide interventions for adults with low vision need to understand challenges with occupational performance from the individual’s perspective in order to implement effective treatment. The purpose of this study was to understand self-described occupational behaviors of persons with low vision. Method This qualitative study included semi-structured interviews regarding the occupational experiences of 22 individuals with varying levels of vision impairment. Transcribed data were organized according to the areas of occupation reported in the American Occupational Therapy Association’s Practice Framework. Results Participants described occupational performance of activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, and leisure. Within each area of occupation, participants reported lighting, contrast, familiarity, and organization within the environment as facilitators or barriers to participation. Participants with increased vision loss relied heavily on assistive devices, task simplification, and others to perform desired occupations. Conclusion The information obtained in this study can assist practitioners in selecting more effective interventions to increase the independence and safety of individuals with low vision.
