Why did I do this?
Disillusioned with PT role

Previous research: FALLS PREVENTION
Falls not purely random events –can be predicted by assessing a number of risk factors
(Gillespie et al 2009, Tiedeman et al 2011, Haran et al 2010)
FALL
Strength
Balance
Vision
Incontinence
Foot
Pain
Environment
ArrhythmiaCognition
Meds
Poor nutrition
Vitamin D

COCHRANE REVIEWS
Falls prevention research
“Interventions for preventing falls in elderly people” (Gillespie et al 2003)
“Interventions for preventing falls in older
people living in nursing care facilities and hospitals ”
(Cameron et al 2012)
“Interventions for preventing falls in older
people living in the community”
(Gillespie et al 2009)
![Page 6: Results of the SUNBEAM trial - NeuRAfallsnetwork.neura.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/... · Tai Chi Otago Exercise Program (Robertson et al 2002) • Multifactorial intervention](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050521/5fa4b0aaec97a52eb369d3f4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Factors that reduce falls in community dwellers:
• Multi-component group exercise – balance, resistance
Eg Stepping On (Clemson et al 2004)
Tai ChiOtago Exercise Program (Robertson et al 2002)
• Multifactorial intervention customised to individual needs -Withdrawal of psychotropic medsPacemakersCataract surgery
Falls in the community (Gillespie et al 2009)
There is clear evidence that exercise is beneficial for the prevention of falls in the community

Factors that reduce falls in residents of aged care facilities: • Vitamin D supplementation
Factors that may reduce falls in residents of aged care facilities:
• Multifactorial interventions customised to individual needs
Falls in residential aged care(Cameron et al 2010 and 2012)
Results relating to the effectiveness of exercise in reducing the rate of falls and risk of falling are inconsistent (Cameron et al 2012)
There are currently no RCT to recommend for or against the use of customised exercise programs to prevent falls in long term aged care settings” (Clinical Practice Guidelines AGS/BGS 2011)

Studies showing reduction in fall rates –(single exercise modalities)
Shimada et al 2004 (n = 26, 6 months follow - up)• Perturbed walking using a bilateral separatedtreadmill v usual care• 100 hours
Sihvonen et al 2006 (n = 27, 1 year follow up)• Visual feedback based balance training (computer screen,
balance plate causing perturbations) v usual care• TOTAL = 6 hours

Studies showing no change in fall rates
Sakamoto et al 2006 (n = 527, 6 month follow up)
Uni – pedal standing v usual care TOTAL = 18.2 hours
Choi et al 2005 (n = 68, 12 week follow up)
Tai Chi v usual care TOTAL = 21 hours

Pooled data from these studies showed an increase in fall rates (combination of exercise types)
Faber 2006 (n = 278, 1 year follow up)• “Functional walking”• TOTAL = 52 hoursMulrow 1994 (n = 194, 4 month follow up)• ROM ex, leg weights until deemed able to walk well then progressed to
walking• TOTAL = 24 hours
Schoenfelder (2000) (n = 16, 6 months follow up)• Heel raises 5-10 reps, 10 mins walking• TOTAL = 12 hours
Rosendahl 2008 (n = 191, 6 month follow up)• Balance, Squats, stepping up/down, walking program• TOTAL = 21.75 hours
![Page 13: Results of the SUNBEAM trial - NeuRAfallsnetwork.neura.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/... · Tai Chi Otago Exercise Program (Robertson et al 2002) • Multifactorial intervention](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050521/5fa4b0aaec97a52eb369d3f4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Total dose of exercise – 50 hours minimum
High level balance work
Strength work for those who are deconditioned
(2-3 sets, 10-15 reps)
All exercises individually upgraded – progressed
Close supervision – to allow for safe inclusion of high level balance work
Maintenance program continued after initial conditioning phase
Walking program (while beneficial for other health conditions) should not be considered a falls prevention program
(Sherrington et al 2011, Tiedeman et al 2011)
Components of effective exercise programs
![Page 14: Results of the SUNBEAM trial - NeuRAfallsnetwork.neura.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/... · Tai Chi Otago Exercise Program (Robertson et al 2002) • Multifactorial intervention](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050521/5fa4b0aaec97a52eb369d3f4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Objectives of the SunBeam trial.
The key research questions were:
• Is a supervised progressive resistance training and balance group based exercise program more effective than usual care for prevention of falls among residents over a 12-month follow-up period?
• Does the program result in improvements to the secondary outcomes: quality of life, cognition, mobility and confidence?
• Is the program cost effective?
