Randomised Controlled Trial of Unsolicited Occupational Therapy in Community-Dwelling Elderly People: The LOTIS Trial
OBJECTIVE The objective of this trial, the Leiden 85-Plus Occupational Therapy Intervention Study (LOTIS), was to assess whether unsolicited occupational therapy, as compared to no therapy, can decelerate the increase in disability in high-risk elderly people. DESIGN This was a randomised controlled trial with 2-y follow-up. SETTING The study took place in the municipality of Leiden in the ...
متن کاملNoisy galvanic vestibular stimulation induces a sustained improvement in body balance in elderly adults
Vestibular dysfunction causes postural instability, which is prevalent in the elderly. We previously showed that an imperceptible level of noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) can improve postural stability in patients with bilateral vestibulopathy during the stimulus, presumably by enhancing vestibular information processing. In this study, we investigated the after-effects of an imper...
متن کاملEffect of Noisy Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation on Ocular Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials to Bone-Conducted Vibration
OBJECTIVE Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) delivered as zero-mean current noise (noisy GVS) has been shown to improve static and dynamic postural stability probably by enhancing vestibular information. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an imperceptible level noisy GVS on ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs) in response to bone-conducted vibration (BCV)...
متن کاملReablement in community-dwelling older adults: a randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND There has been an increasing interest in reablement in Norway recently and many municipalities have implemented this form of rehabilitation despite a lack of robust evidence of its effectiveness. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of reablement in home-dwelling older adults compared with usual care in relation to daily activities, physical functioning, and hea...
متن کاملEffects of Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation on Statokinesigrams of the Elderly
Special suits have been designed to simulate the physical functions of the elderly. However, it has been suggested that these suits do not simulate the postural instability that is actually observed in elderly subjects. We consider that postural instability in the elderly is caused by anomalous signals in the vestibules. In this study, we have verified this hypothesis by using galvanic vestibul...
