Randomised trial of a multifaceted podiatry intervention for fall prevention
Most broken bones among women over the age of 70 are caused by simple falls. Certain common fractures, such as hip injuries, are associated with substantial loss of quality of life or even death. It is suggested that using appropriate footwear with the addition of an insole may improve balance and reduce the risk of falls. In this proposal, the team wants to see if a multifaceted podiatric intervention, which includes improving footwear, shoe insoles and foot and ankle exercises, can lead to a reduction in falls. It intends to study about 1,600 people who are at high risk of falling and suffering fall-related injuries.
