Summary
Falls represent the leading cause of hospitalization, nursing home admissions, disability and mortality for older adults with annual healthcare costs over $50 billion. Older Veterans with cognitive impairment are at an increased risk of falls and injurious fall. The purpose of this study is to test the effects of 6 weeks of a virtual tele-neurorehabilitation intervention on fall prevention, functional mobility, strength, cognition and performance of activities of daily living. Participants will be one of 28 participants in the VA Maryland Health Care System. Participation in the study is voluntary and the research will be conducted at the VA Maryland Health Care System. The entire study will take approximately 2 years to complete. Subject's participation in the study will last 3 months.
Detailed description
Falls represent the leading cause of hospitalization, nursing home admissions, disability and mortality for older adults with annual healthcare costs over $50 billion. Older Veterans with cognitive impairment are at an increased risk of falls and injurious fall. This pilot aims to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a virtual neurorehabilitation intervention to improve functional mobility, strength, cognition and performance of activities of daily living in a cohort of 28 older Veterans with cognitive impairment. The overall goals are to improve fall risk in a population for which traditional rehabilitation programs may not be feasible. The investigators envision a neurorehabilitation model that can be readily exportable and widely implemented at other VA facilities with minimal resources as an enhancement to clinical care for fall prevention.
