Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Community-dwelling older people aged 65 years and older, who are able to walk a distance of more than 6 meters without aids, will be included in the study. Furthermore, an increased risk of falling (Silver Index > 40%) is defined as an inclusion criterion, which is determined by the hunova device (Silver Index, parameter for measuring the risk of falling).
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: In order to ensure participation in the fall prevention programs exclusion criteria were defined with regard to physical constitution and acute and chronic diseases. The exclusion criteria are checked with health questionnaires before the first measurement (see appendix).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcomes are the effects of a new technology-based fall prevention program and following home training program with community dwelling older people at risk of falling on the number of falls and the number of fallers. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Seconday outcomes refer to the effects on fall-related risk factors (Silver Index, subindexes, number of deficient training areas, timed-up-and-go). Additionally, the feasibility of fall prevention programs will be examined with questionnaires (feedback questionnaires, Task Load Index, Usefulness, Satisfaction and Ease of Use, User Experience Questionnaire, training diary). | — |
