Concern About Falling Is Associated With Gait Speed, Independently From Physical and Cognitive Function
Kimberley S. van Schooten,Ellen Freiberger,Myriam Sillevis Smitt,Veronika Keppner,Cornel C. Sieber,Stephen R. Lord,Kim Delbaere +6 more
TL;DR: Concern about falling was the strongest predictor of gait speed under all 4 conditions and should be included in routine geriatric assessments, especially under dual-task conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Arterial Pulse Wave Velocity Is a Risk Factor for Falls in Community-Dwelling Older People
Alfred K. W. Wong,Stephen R. Lord,Julian N. Trollor,Daina L. Sturnieks,Kim Delbaere,Jasmine C. Menant,Henry Brodaty,Perminder S. Sachdev,Jacqueline C. T. Close +8 more
TL;DR: To examine whether arterial stiffness is a risk factor for falls in community‐dwelling older people, a large number of studies have found it to be a factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pilot feasibility study of a home-based fall prevention exercise program (StandingTall) delivered through a tablet computer (iPad) in older people with dementia.
Morag E. Taylor,Morag E. Taylor,Morag E. Taylor,Jacqueline C. T. Close,Jacqueline C. T. Close,Stephen R. Lord,Stephen R. Lord,Susan Kurrle,Lyndell Webster,Roslyn Savage,Kim Delbaere,Kim Delbaere +11 more
TL;DR: To assess the feasibility and safety of StandingTall—an individually tailored, progressive exercise program delivered through tablet computers—in community‐dwelling older people with dementia, a large number of these people have dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between health literacy and physical activity in older people: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Mei Ling Lim,Mei Ling Lim,Kimberley S. van Schooten,Kimberley S. van Schooten,Kylie Radford,Kylie Radford,Kim Delbaere,Kim Delbaere +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic search was conducted in CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsychINFO and CENTRAL to determine the association between health literacy and physical activity in older people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validity and reliability of a simple 'low-tech' test for measuring choice stepping reaction time in older people
Kim Delbaere,Yves J. Gschwind,Catherine Sherrington,Catherine Sherrington,E Barraclough,MA Garrués-Irisarri,MA Garrués-Irisarri,Stephen R. Lord +7 more
TL;DR: A simple test of unplanned volitional stepping (CSRT-M) has excellent predictive validity for future falls, good inter-day test–retest reliability and excellent criterion validity with respect to the well-validated CSRT-E.
