People With Osteoporosis Can Walk-BEST to Reduce Fall and Fracture Risk (Walk-BEST)

Yksityiskohtainen kuvaus
The Walk-BEST™ technology assisted gait optimization program has demonstrated effectiveness in improving gait pattern and walking capacity without adverse events in people living with Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis. What is not known and the topic of this pilot and feasibility study is whether older people with osteoporosis will engage successfully with this program, since they do not have a diagnosis of a disabling condition affecting gait and may be unaware that their cautious method of walking exposes them to higher risk of falls and fractures rather than protecting them.
A randomized pilot and feasibility study (PAFS) will be conducted with groups randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Participants will be randomly assigned to either 1) immediate receipt of the Walk-BEST™ program; or 2) wait-list control and delayed receipt of Walk-BEST™ program 3 months post-randomization.
Participants will receive a copy of a proprietary workbook with instructions on simple exercises targeting strength, flexibility, and balance to facilitate a better walking pattern, as well as both 3-5 remote sessions with an exercise professional to practice walking well and to learn how to use the Heel2ToeTM sensor, and two technology phone calls with a research team member, over the first 4 weeks of the intervention. This personal gait training period will be followed by independent home practice over 2 months, during which participants will be instructed to practice walking with the sensor for a minimum period of 6 min, twice a day and to complete three exercises from their workbook at least twice a week.
There will be three on-site study visits at 3-month intervals: one for initial assessment, and two for reassessment.

Interventio / Hoito |
|---|---|
|
Kokeellinen: Walk-BEST Immediate
Assigned to receive the Heel2Toe sensor and Walk BEST intervention right away.
|
Heel2Toe is a new generation of wearables that provides real-time auditory feedback when the person takes a good step, one in which the step is initiated with a strong heel strike.
Co-designed, evidence-based technology-assisted, therapeutic walking program developed by physiotherapy researchers, clinicians, and frail and non-frail seniors.
It consists of training elements (derived through international consensus and endorsed by 600 older Canadians) for optimal gait pattern with the use of a biofeedback device, the Heel2Toe™ sensor, which is introduced to reinforce the gait optimizing training and encourage home practice.

Active Comparator: Walk-BEST Delayed
