“…The falls hazard identification and their elimination from the living environment must be a deliberate part of the prevention program (Lord et al, 2005;Rucker et al 2006), performed by experienced people knowing the elderly behaviour, institution administrators or family. At the stage of designing buildings and their adaptation to serve a specific purpose it is necessary to eliminate all obstacles and barriers.…”

Background:Man is exposed to falls performing daily activities, their effects turn out to be more severe especially in the later decades of life. After 60 years, it appears to be a larger number of fractures resulting in the limitation of physical fitness, health complications and life threatening. Therefore, prevention efforts conducted in the form of an in-depth analysis of the falls' causes which already happened, control of health and proper treatment, conducting systematic, interesting and varied physical activities -in conjunction with education and mental change in a determined way they can and should reduce the risk of falls of the elderly.

“…With this as a background, my colleagues and I designedand evaluated in randomized controlled trials-a series of T-2 translational interventions for patients with fractures of the wrist, spine, and hip [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. In terms of wrist fractures, we developed a multifaceted intervention designed to overcome several barriers at the level of the system, the physician, and the patient [16,17].…”

The objectives of this paper are to: quickly outline the extent of the care gap in osteoporosis; define T-2 (knowledge) translation and its relationship to quality improvement; discuss the barriers to best practice in osteoporosis care after a fracture; convey the importance of rigor in design and evaluation of translational interventions by drawing upon examples from the broader literature; describe in some detail a series of post-fracture intervention trials conducted in Alberta, Canada; and make some conclusions specifically about osteoporosis interventions and more generally about T-2 translational research.

“…16,17 Finally, animal studies suggest that physical activity could perhaps slow down disease progression in PD. [18][19][20] It is therefore crucial to develop a reliable strategy to stimulate an active lifestyle in PD. Several studies have shown that PD patients are in fact able to participate in exercise classes and improve their physical fitness, but follow-up was always short.…”

Nordic walking improves mobility in Parkinson's disease

et al. 2008

Nordic walking may improve mobility in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we examined whether the beneficial effects persist after the training period. We included 19 PD patients [14 men; mean age 67.0 years (range 58-76); Hoehn and Yahr stage range 1-3] who received a 6-week Nordic walking exercise program. Outcome was assessed prior to training (T1), immediately after the training period (T2) and-in a subgroup of 9 patients--5 months after training (T3). At T2, we observed a significant improvement in timed 10-m walking, the timed get-up-and-go-test (TUG), the 6-min walking test and quality of life (PDQ-39). All treatment effects persisted at T3. Compliance was excellent, and there were no adverse effects. These preliminary findings suggest that Nordic walking could provide a safe, effective, and enjoyable way to reduce physical inactivity in PD and to improve the quality of life. A large randomized clinical trial now appears justified.
