BACKGROUND Aim: to describe a randomized controlled trial protocol that aims to implement a home multifactorial program for reducing fall risk based on management of risk factors for falls, evaluate its effects on fall risk awareness, rate of falls, economic cost, adherence and satisfaction among older fallers. OBJECTIVE To describe a randomized controlled trial protocol that aims to implement a home multifactorial program for reducing fall risk based on management of risk factors for falls. METHODS This is a single-blind randomized controlled, parallel group trial protocol. Older people with a history of at least two falls in the last year will be divided into 2 groups. Intervention Group will receive a case management at home for reducing risk of falls, including multidimensional assessment, explanation of fall risk factors and elaboration and monitoring of an individualized intervention plan based on the identified fall risk factors, personal preferences and available resources. The Control Group will be monitored once a month. Assessments (clinical data, fall risk awareness, physical and mental factors, safety at home, feet and shoes, risk and rate of falls) will be carried out at baseline, after 16 weeks of intervention and at the post-trial 6-week and 1-year follow-up. After 16 weeks of intervention, satisfaction and adherence to the intervention will also be assessed. Economic health will be evaluated for the period up to the post-trial 1-year follow-up. RESULTS No Results. CONCLUSIONS This case management program will address multifactorial assessments using validated tools and the implementation of individualized intervention plans focused on reducing fall risk factors, and may provide reliable and valuable information about the effectiveness of case management for increasing fall risk awareness and reducing fall risk in older people.

Background. Exercise is increasingly becoming recognized as an important adjunct to medications in the clinical management of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Boxing and sensory exercise have shown immediate benefits, but whether they continue beyond program completion is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effects of boxing and sensory training on motor symptoms of PD, and whether these benefits remain upon completion of the intervention. Methods. In this 20-week double-blinded randomized controlled trial, 40 participants with idiopathic PD were randomized into 2 treatment groups, (n = 20) boxing or (n = 20) sensory exercise. Participants completed 10 weeks of intervention. Motor symptoms were assessed at (week 0, 10, and 20) using the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS-III). Data were analyzed using SPSS, and repeated-measures ANOVA was conducted. Results. A significant interaction effect between groups and time were observed F(1, 39) = 4.566, P = .036, where the sensory group improved in comparison to the boxing group. Post hoc analysis revealed that in comparison to boxing, the effects of exercise did not wear off at washout (week 20) P < .006. Conclusion. Future rehabilitation research should incorporate similar measures to explore whether effects of exercise wear off post intervention.
