“…The expert rater has a background in occupational therapy, thus having advanced learning on human occupations and functional activities compared with other professionals. Occupational therapy has specialised knowledge of activity analysis and is considered as the “gold standard” profession in home‐based intervention . Therefore, we can expect the expert rater to accurately identify home hazards.…”

The exception in the present study was that the rater with an economics background provided higher scores than the expert rater.…”

“…Prevention of falls is an important health agenda to help older people to age-in-place, and occupational therapy plays an important role in falls prevention through home assessment and modification. 4,5 Many assessment tools focused on the home environment have been developed; however, there are few tools with established psychometric properties. 6 A systematic review by Barras 7 showed that many home hazards studies implemented nonstandardised tools to evaluate the home environment.…”

Background:In Germany, four to five million community-dwelling people aged 65 years or older fall every year. The presented potential analysis evaluates the potential of occupational therapy-led physical exercise programs and home environment adaptations to reduce the frequency of falling and as well as intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors for falling of older people living at home. Methods: The potential analysis was compiled according to a method guideline (p.11-22) available as follows: http://www.cochrane. de/news/leitfaden-f%C3%BCr-gesundheitsfachberufe-mai-2013. The research question of fall prevention was considered as very relevant for health care and specified according to the PICOS-system. A Cochrane review was systematically searched and the body of evidence was assessed using the GRADE-system. In addition, studies after the search period of the Cochrane review were identified using the search strategy of this review. Both the studies within and after the review were assessed regarding their transferability to the German health care context. . However, direct implementation into the German healthcare context is not recommendable. Implication for research: It is recommended (1) to manualise identified home environment adaptation programmes for the German healthcare context and (2) to pilot-test the physical exercise programmes `LiFE` with regard to theoretical framework, acceptance, applicability and feasibility and to examine both interventions as part of a feasibility study. If this trial results in a feasible treatment programme well accepted by patients and their treating occupational therapists, a large-scaled randomized clinical trial in terms of comparative effectiveness research may follow.

“…OTs use a fall risk assessment to identify individuals who would benefit from a fall risk reduction education program. Once therapists identify fall risks, they can then educate individuals and caregivers about how to complete activities safely (Lampiasi & Jacobs, 2010).…”

It is with great pleasure that we thank those that contributed to our successful thesis completion. We would like express our deep appreciation and gratitude to our thesis advisor, Kitsum Li, OTD, OTR/L for her unwillingness to allow us to do less than our best work every step of the way. Her guidance, endless support, enthusiasm, and time have made our thesis an exceptional educational experience. It is our pleasure to congratulate and acknowledge one another for our hard work and dedication to the project. In addition, we would like to thank Dominican University Occupational Therapy staff for educating and guiding us these past three years. This master thesis would not have been possible without the expertise and wisdom of Mark McAlister. He generously spent many hours with our group compiling our results and helping to complete the data analysis.We would like to thank the Brain Injury Network of the Bay Area for allowing us to spend countless hours conducting our research at their site. Furthermore, we would like to thank the acquired brain injury population as a whole. We hope this research provides a way for professionals to increase your safety in the future.Lastly, we wish to express appreciation to our wonderful family members, friends, and classmates for their endless support, encouragement, and patience throughout our duration at Dominican University of California.
