Assessment Of The Association Between Fear Of Falling And Dual-Task Performance In People With Parkinson’s Disease: A Cross-Sectional, Observational Study
(2014)
O'Connell, Eimear M
Abstract:
<p>People with Parkinson’s Disease (PwP) report greater levels of fear of falling (FOF) and demonstrate poorer ability to complete two tasks at once (i.e. dual-tasking) than healthy age-matched controls.</p> <p><strong>Aims and Objectives</strong>:</p> <p>Aim: to assess the association between FOF and dual-task performance in communitydwelling PwP. Objectives: a) to assess the level of FOF in PwP in Ireland, b) to investigate the association between FOF and both motor and cognitive dual-task performance.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>:</p> <p>Thirty-one PwP (54.8% male) participated (Hoehn and Yahr Stages I-IV) with a mean age and duration of disease of 69.5 (±8.4) and four (±five) years respectively. The Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale was used to estimate the level of FOF. Dual-task ability was assessed by adding concurrent tasks to the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. The motor dual-task involv...

Abstract:
Objectives: To examine (i) the clustering of reduced falls-efficacy, social withdrawal and physical activity withdrawal in Irish adults aged 50 years and older, and (ii) the concurrent and prospective associations of these clustered behaviours with cognitive decline. Design: Longitudinal cohort study Setting and Participants: Data were from 4571 participants (mean age 64.5?8.6, 54.9% female) in The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing, a population-based study. Methods: Changes in social and physical activity and falls-efficacy from 2012/13 to 2014/15 were used to define the behaviours of social withdrawal, physical activity withdrawal and reduced falls-efficacy. Patterns of behaviours were associated with concurrent (2012/13-2014/15) and prospective (2014/15-2016/17) changes in Immediate recall, delayed recall and verbal fluency using random effects mixed models. Results: 86% of participants had either social withdrawal, physical activity withdrawal or reduced falls-efficacy and 15%...

Fall-related experiences of stroke survivors: a meta-ethnography

Fall-related experiences of stroke survivors: a meta-ethnography
(2016)
Walsh, Mary E.; Galvin, Rose; Horgan, Frances N.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Health professionals view falls after stroke as common adverse events with both physical and psychological consequences. Stroke survivors' experiences are less well understood. The aim of this systematic review was to explore the perception of falls-risk within the stroke recovery experience from the perspective of people with stroke. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted. Papers that used qualitative methods to explore the experiences of individuals with stroke around falls, falls-risk and fear of falling were included. Two reviewers independently assessed the methodological quality of papers. Meta-ethnography was conducted. Concepts from each study were translated into each other to form theories that were combined through a "lines-of-argument" synthesis. RESULTS: Four themes emerged from the six included qualitative studies: (i) Fall circumstances, (ii) perception of fall consequences, (iii) barriers to community participation and (...

Syncope, fear of falling and quality of life among older adults: findings from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)

Abstract:
Objective: Syncope is a prevalent condition that has a marked impact on quality of life. We examined the association between syncope and quality of life (QoL) and whether this association was explained by fear of falling (FoF). Methods: We examined data from Wave 3 of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Aging (TILDA), of adults aged ?50 years (n = 4,946) who were asked to report syncope and who completed the CASP-12 QoL instrument. Analyses were stratified by age and gender. Results: Over 20% of participants reported having a previous syncopal episode, while 8% reported a faint, blackout or unexplained fall in the last year. QoL scores decreased as the burden of syncope increased: linear regression models adjusted for covariates showed that those having had two or more syncopal episodes in the last year reported a significantly lower CASP-12 score compared to those with none (p = 0.011). FoF partially mediated the association between syncope and QoL, particularly among younger partici...
