“…The loss of autonomy and independence while carrying out activities of daily living and falls are among the top concerns of older adults, because they could lead them to have functional limitations [55,56]. The results of our SLR agree with this, as most of the articles that were selected are related to these two topics, as shown in Figure 3.…”

Mobile health technologies are becoming more common to assist older people in independent living and self-management of illnesses. Although many mobile health technologies can be beneficial to older users, there remains a dearth of evidence-informed guidance to develop such technologies. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review to (1) determine which types of mobile health technologies have been used to monitor health in older adults, (2) determine whether these devices allow older users to visualize their data and to complement automatically gathered sensor information with subjective information or data from other sources, and (3) determine which health information about older adults is usually monitored. We performed a focused systematic literature review of the ACM Digital Library database, including papers specifically assessing the implementation of mobile health technologies (e.g., wearables), and other mobile computerized equipment for independent older adults. Our results show that the most commonly used device is the smartphone, that the monitored data is usually acceleration, heart rate and position, and that only 30.4% of studies evaluate devices for older adults with older adult participants.

“…The mean outcome measures before and after treatment are reported in Table 3. Dynamic balance was assessed in nine studies, using timed up-and-go (TUG) test [35,[37][38][39][40][41], TUG-motor [42], TUGcog [34], or 8 foot up-and-go test [43]. Static balance was evaluated via Berg balance score (BBS) in six studies [34,37,40,41,43,44].…”

“…Static balance was evaluated via Berg balance score (BBS) in six studies [34,37,40,41,43,44]. Participants' fear of falling was assessed in five studies, using the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) [39,45], Modified Falls Efficacy Scale (MFES) [46], Falls Efficacy Scale, Swedish version (FES(S)) [36], and Thai Falls Efficacy Scale (Thai FES-I) [37]. Balance confidence was reported in four studies, using the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale [34,35,46] and short-ABC [47].…”

The aims of this systematic review and meta-analysis were to evaluate the effects of physical exercise on static and dynamic balance in the elderly population, and to analyze the number of falls and fallers. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed–Medline, Cochrane Central, and Google Scholar to select randomized clinical trials that analyzed the role of exercise on balance and fall rate in patients aged 65 or older. Sixteen articles were included in this review. Applying the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool, three studies were determined to be at low risk of bias, nine at unclear risk of bias, and four at high risk of bias. The meta-analysis showed improvements in dynamic balance (p = 0.008), static balance (p = 0.01), participants’ fear of falling (p = 0.10), balance confidence (p = 0.04), quality of life (p = 0.08), and physical performance (p = 0.30) in patients who underwent physical exercise compared to controls. The analysis of the total numbers of falls showed a decreased likelihood of falls in patients who participated in exercise programs (p = 0.0008). Finally, the number of patients who fell at least once was significantly reduced in the intervention group (p = 0.02). Physical exercise is an effective treatment to improve balance and reduce fall rates in the elderly.

“…This study is a long-term follow-up on the same sample that was studied in a 3-month follow-up on fall preventive exercise with or without behavioral support (Arkkukangas et al, 2019). The participants were recruited by PTs or occupational therapists when walking aids were prescribed or by care managers when the older adults applied for home help service.…”

The Otago Exercise Program With or Without Motivational Interviewing for Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A 12-Month Follow-Up of a Randomized, Controlled Trial

The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to examine the 12-month effects of the home-based Otago Exercise Program (OEP) with or without the support of motivational interviewing (MI) on community-dwelling people 75 years and older who needed walking aids and/or home help service. In total, 175 participants were randomized into three groups: OEP ( n = 61), OEP with MI ( n = 58), and a control group ( n = 56) ( M age = 83 years). Measures were physical performance, physical activity level, balance, grip strength, fall-related self-efficacy, fall rate, and fall injury rate. The OEP with and the OEP without MI, with the support of a physical therapist (six home visits and three phone calls), demonstrated no benefits in any of the measures compared with a control group. In this subgroup of pre-frail older adults, more frequent support by personnel may be required to secure efficient intensity and progression in the exercises performed on your own at home.
