Journal ArticleDOI
A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study of Home-Based Step Training in Older People Using Videogame Technology
Daniel Schoene,Stephen R. Lord,Stephen R. Lord,Kim Delbaere,Kim Delbaere,Connie Severino,Thomas A. Davies,Stuart T. Smith +7 more
TL;DR: Step pad training can be safely undertaken at home to improve physical and cognitive parameters of fall risk in older people without major cognitive and physical impairments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactive cognitive-motor step training improves cognitive risk factors of falling in older adults - a randomized controlled trial
Daniel Schoene,Daniel Schoene,Trinidad Valenzuela,Trinidad Valenzuela,Barbara Toson,Kim Delbaere,Connie Severino,Jaime A. Garcia,Thomas A. Davies,Frances Russell,Stuart T. Smith,Stuart T. Smith,Stephen R. Lord +12 more
TL;DR: This study shows that unsupervised stepping ICMT led to improvements in specific cognitive functions associated with falls in older people.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Stroop Stepping Test (SST) using low-cost computer game technology discriminates between older fallers and non-fallers
Daniel Schoene,Stuart T. Smith,Thomas A. Davies,Kim Delbaere,Kim Delbaere,Stephen R. Lord,Stephen R. Lord +6 more
TL;DR: The SST was able to distinguish fallers from non-fallers, providing a novel way to explore cognitive mechanisms for fall-risk in older people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the effectiveness of a home-based exercise programme delivered through a tablet computer for preventing falls in older community-dwelling people over 2 years: study protocol for the Standing Tall randomised controlled trial
Kim Delbaere,Trinidad Valenzuela,Ashley Woodbury,Thomas A. Davies,J Yeong,David C. Steffens,L Miles,L Pickett,G A R Zijlstra,Lindy Clemson,Jacqueline C. T. Close,Kirsten Howard,Stephen R. Lord +12 more
TL;DR: A randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a home-based exercise programme delivered through a tablet computer to prevent falls in older people.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Step Training System: An ICT solution to measure and reduce fall risk in older adults
TL;DR: Preliminary field tests show that older adults engage with the set top box PC solution but that barriers to maintained use of the system do exist.
