Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
a) Subjectively perceived fear of falling based on personal fall history in the last 12 months (anamnesis) and a questionnaire on fall-associated self-efficacy. b) Objectively measured balance ability using eight balance exercises, as well as mobility and walking ability on a three, respectively ten meter walking distance (with and without aids).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
All target values are collected by routine examinations, which are regularly repeated and carried out as standard in the daily clinical rehabilitation routine of the patients of the QZ in order to continuously document the progress of the patients' therapy. For this reason, recurring measurements of the above-mentioned target values in the course of the rehabilitation in the QZ should be regarded as standard.
