“…Numerous epidemiological studies have identified a multitude of extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors for falling in children [7,8] and seniors [9] . Extrinsic factors include playground equipment, monkey bars, lighting, stairs, furniture, floor surfaces, obstructed walkways and inadequate handrails, for example [7] .…”

“…Participants also agreed with the recommendation that people who have experienced a fall wear a safe, stable style of shoe consisting of a firm, not cushioned, sole to maximize plantar cutaneous sensory awareness. 28 As with all qualitative research, the results of this study cannot be generalized to the wider population in the traditional sense. Rather, the intentional use of a small but specific sample is suited to providing a greater depth of understanding and insight into individual idiosyncrasies of people with diabetes and neuropathy who have fallen.…”

Background: Despite falls being a major concern for people living with somatosensory deficit, little is known about the perceived impact of footwear and footwear features on balance. Clinical relevance is increased given that therapeutic footwear is often provided to people with diabetes to reduce foot ulcer risk. This qualitative study aims to explore the experiences and views of people with diabetes and neuropathy who have recently fallen to understand whether footwear type is perceived to affect balance or contribute to falling.

“…With reference to previous studies [14][15][16][17][18] , we selected two demographic variables, seven primary diseases or general health statuses, two physical performance tests, and two behavioural variables as possible confounding factors for falls ( Table 2). The demographic variables were sex and age.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine whether a subjective risk rating for falls is more valuable than other screening tools in relating falls in frail elderly people.[Subjects] The study included 232 elderly subjects (48 men, 184 women, mean age 82.8 ± 6.3 years) who had been using day care services.[Methods] Data included history of falls during the previous year, the subjective risk rating of specifi c tasks (SRRST), which is composed of seven questions, and potential confounding factors including demographic variables, primary diseases or general health status, physical performance, and behavioral variables. To determine the independent factors related to falls, a multiple logistic regression analysis was used to measure odds ratios adjusted for all measurement variables.[Results] Eighty-one subjects (34.9%) had fallen during the previous year. In the multiple logistic regression analysis, a signifi cant relationship was found only with the SRRST score (odds ratio; 1.22).[Conclusion] The SRRST is related independently with falls, and may be useful for determining interventions for preventing falls, such as the supervision approach in the frail elderly people.
