Effects of a case management-based intervention on non-motor risk factors for falls in older people with history of falls: a randomised clinical trial.

Background: Falls are directly related to morbidity and mortality of older people. Multifactorial approaches that are individualised and based on fall risk factors are necessary. This study aims to verify the effects of a case management-based intervention on non-motor risk factors for falls in community-dwelling older people with a history of falls.

Treatment fidelity and satisfaction with an intervention based on case management for older people with falls history: Randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: To verify the treatment fidelity and satisfaction with a multifactorial intervention based on case management in community-dwelling older people with falls history and related sociodemographic and clinical factors.

Methods: This is a single-center, randomized, parallel-group controlled clinical trial. 62 community-dwelling older people with falls history were distributed into two groups.

Effects of case management based on preventing falls in older people: A systematic review.

Background: Falls among older adults can lead to negative consequences with physical, functional, social, and psychological functioning, and a high prevalence of mortality. However, it is still unclear whether case management can reduce the number of falls in this population.

Aims: The aims of this review were to analyze the effects of case management on preventing falls and reducing risk factors for falls in older people.

Effects of Aquatic Physical Exercise on Motor Risk Factors for Falls in Older People During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of aquatic training on motor risk factors for falls in older people during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out with older people, divided into an aquatic training group (ATG) (n = 24) and a control group (CG) (n = 25). Muscle strength was assessed by the 5-Times Sit-to-Stand Test, mobility by the simple and dual-task Timed Up and Go Test, and postural stability through stabilometric data (force platform).

A Case Management Program at Home to Reduce Fall Risk in Older Adults (the MAGIC Study): Protocol for a Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Individual case management programs may be particularly effective in reducing fall risk as they can better identify barriers and facilitators to health recommendations.

Objective: This paper describes the protocol for a single-blind, parallel-group randomized controlled trial that aims to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a home-based multifactorial program targeting fall risk factors among people aged 60 years and over who have fallen at least twice in the past 12 months (the MAGIC trial).

Methods: Older people with a history of at least 2 falls in the last year will be divided into 2 groups.
