Two simple modifications to the World Falls Guidelines algorithm improves its ability to stratify older people into low, intermediate and high fall risk groups Open
Background We conducted a secondary analysis of a cohort study to examine the World Falls Guidelines algorithm’s ability to stratify older people into sizable fall risk groups or whether minor modifications were necessary to achieve this. …

Clinician acceptability of the ReacStep reactive balance training program for fall prevention Open
Aim To examine if a novel reactive balance training program (ReacStep) designed for clinical settings is acceptable to clinicians prescribing balance and mobility training. Methods ReacStep consists of tether‐release reactive step training…

A custom-built step exergame training programme to prevent falls in people with multiple sclerosis: A multicentre randomised controlled trial Open
Background: Cognitive-motor step training can improve stepping, balance and mobility in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), but effectiveness in preventing falls has not been demonstrated. Objectives: This multisite randomised controlled …

Ten‐year work burden after prostate cancer treatment Open
Introduction We aim to characterize the magnitude of the work burden (weeks off from work) associated with prostate cancer (PCa) treatment over a 10‐year period after PCa diagnosis and identify those at greatest risk. Materials and Methods…

smart±step exergame and seated computer brain training for preventing falls in community-dwelling older people: a 12-month randomised controlled trial. Open
Objectives Exergame training is a promising method for delivering evidence-based fall prevention exercise as it can facilitate exercise adherence and can be tailored to address cognitive and motor risk factors for falls. This study examine…

Effects of Delayed Surgical Intervention Following Emergency Department Presentation on Stone Surgery Complexity Open
Introduction and Objective: Prior literature had demonstrated increased stone burden and higher rates of staged surgery in individuals of lower socioeconomic status (SES). Low SES individuals are more likely to experience delays in definit…

Ladder Use in Older People: Type, Frequency, Tasks and Predictors of Risk Behaviours Open
Ladder fall and injury risk increases with age. People who present to a hospital after an injurious ladder fall have been surveyed, but little is known about ladder use in the community. The purpose of this study was to: (1) document salie…
View article: Reduced strength, poor balance and concern about falls mediate the relationship between knee pain and fall risk in older people
Reduced strength, poor balance and concern about falls mediate the relationship between knee pain and fall risk in older people Open
Aims Pain is an independent risk factor for falling. One in two older community-dwelling people with musculoskeletal pain fall each year. This study examined physical, psychological and medical factors as potential mediators to explain the…

Exposure to trips and slips with increasing unpredictability while walking can improve balance recovery responses with minimum predictive gait alterations Open
Even in the absence of most predictive gait alterations, balance recovery responses to trips and slips were improved through exposure to repeated unpredictable perturbations. A common predictive gait alteration to lean forward immediately …

Exposure to unpredictable trips and slips while walking can improve balance recovery responses with minimum predictive gait alterations Open
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to determine if repeated exposure to unpredictable trips and slips while walking can improve balance recovery responses when predictive gait alterations (e.g. slowing down) are minimised. METHODS Ten young adu…
