Background Fall prevention programs have been proven effective in reducing falls and fall-related injuries in specific target groups and settings. However, implementing these programs on a larger scale often requires adjustments for feasibility. This study assessed the effectiveness of a nationally implemented …

Background: Both the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and daily life gait quality and quantity obtained from wearable sensors are used to measure functional status in older adults. It is generally assumed that they are interrelated and exchangeable, but this has not yet been established. Interchangeability …

Falls and fall-related injuries among older adults are associated with decreased health. Therefore, fall prevention programs (FPPs) are increasingly important. However, the translation of such complex programs into clinical practice lacks insight into factors that influence implementation. Therefore, …

Aanleiding voor dit praktijkgericht onderzoek is de vaststelling dat leerkrachten soms vastlopen in de communicatie met ouders. Ze voelen zich persoonlijk aangevallen en gaan in weerstand of haken af. Om de oorzaken hier van vast te stellen werd er eerst een literatuurstudie uitgevoerd. Er werden vanuit …

Objective To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the Cardiac Care Bridge (CCB) nurse-led transitional care program in older (≥70 years) cardiac patients compared to usual care. Methods The intervention group (n = 153) received the CCB program consisting of case management, disease management and home-based …

BACKGROUND: Physical activity may be both a risk and protective factor for falls and fall-related fractures. Despite its positive effects on muscle and bone health, physical activity also increases exposure to situations where falls and fractures occur. This paradox could possibly be explained by frailty …

BACKGROUND: Falls and fall-related injuries among older adults are a serious threat to the quality of life and result in high healthcare and societal costs. Despite evidence that falls can be prevented by fall prevention programmes, practical barriers may challenge the implementation of these programmes. …

Claustrofobie treedt vaak op bij personen die een MRI-onderzoek (magnetic resonance imaging) moeten ondergaan. De smalle en lange tunnel, de herrie en het stilliggen zijn factoren die claustrofobie veroorzaken. Onderzoek toont aan dat 35% van de patiënten claustrofobische reacties ervaart tijdens een …
