Investigating Feasibility in a Pilot Intergenerational Program Bringing Preschool Children and Older Adults Together in the Community (Interaction)
This pilot study explores the feasibility of a novel intergenerational program bringing preschool children and community-dwelling older adults together. This paper reports the acceptability of this program and the feasibility of collecting empirically robust assessment measures. Using a non-randomized wait-listed controlled trial design, 20 children were recruited across two preschools, with one preschool assigned to the intervention group (n = 1…
Risk Factors for Falls and Fall-Related Fractures in Community-Living Older People with Pain
(1) Background: This prospective study aimed to identify predictors of falls and fall-related fractures in community-dwelling older people with pain; (2) Methods: Participants comprised 389 community-dwelling older people aged 70+ years who had musculoskeletal pain in the neck, back, hip, leg/knee and/or feet. Demographic, anthropometric, balance, mobility, cognitive function, psychological status and physical activity level measures were obtaine…
World guidelines for falls prevention and management for older adults
BACKGROUND: falls and fall-related injuries are common in older adults, have negative effects on functional independence and quality of life and are associated with increased morbidity, mortality and health related costs. Current guidelines are inconsistent, with no up-to-date, globally applicable ones present. OBJECTIVES: to create a set of evidence- and expert consensus-based falls prevention and management recommendations applicable to older a…

Older Aboriginal Australians’ Health Concerns and Preferences for Healthy Ageing Programs
While there is strong evidence of the need for healthy ageing programs for older Aboriginal Australians, few are available. It is important to understand older Aboriginal Australians' perspectives on healthy ageing in order to co-design culturally-appropriate programs, including views on technology use in this context. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 34 Aboriginal Australians aged 50 years and older from regional and urban communit…
A Kinect and Inertial Sensor-Based System for the Self-Assessment of Fall Risk
Copyright © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. Falls remain an important problem in older people. There is strong evidence that falls can be prevented with appropriately designed intervention programs. To start a targeted fall prevention program, a first step is to identify those at high risk of falls. Sensor-based tests hold great promise for more frequent and accurate assessment of fall risk in clinical and home settings. The aims of this study …
Reconceptualizing the Role of Fear of Falling and Balance Confidence in Fall Risk
We conclude with the presentation and discussion of an alternative predictive model of fear of falling that incorporates important findings from the recent literature
Socio-demographic, health-related and psychosocial correlates of fear of falling and avoidance of activity in community-living older persons who avoid activity due to fear of falling
Psychosocial variables did not contribute independently to the difference between mild and severe fear of falling and to the difference between mild and severe avoidance of activity due to fear of falling. Although knowledge about the unique associations of specific variables with levels of severe fear of falling and avoidance of activity is of interest for theoretical reasons, knowledge of univariate association may also help to specify the conc…
