Abstract
The aim of this study was to quantify physical activity and sedentary behavior in older adults recovering from hip fracture and to identify groups based on movement patterns. In this cross-sectional cohort study, older adults (≥70 years) were included 3 months after surgery for proximal femoral fracture. Patients received an accelerometer for 7 days. Demographics and outcomes related to physical function, mobility, cognitive functions, quality of life, and hip fracture were assessed. In total, 43 patients with sufficient accelerometer wear time were included. Across all groups, participants engaged in very low levels of physical activity, spending an average of 11 hr/day in prolonged sedentary behavior. Based on the extracted components from a principal component analysis, three groups with substantial differences in levels of physical activity and sedentary behavior could be distinguished.

Int J Orthop Trauma Nurs 2024; 53:101061. [PMID: 37907389 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijotn.2023.101061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is essential to focus on how older adults remain active and regain control of their daily lives after hip fractures. 'Rehabilitation of Life' is an empowerment-orientated hip fracture intervention focused on continuous rehabilitation and care between sectors in Denmark. We aimed to understand and explore older adults' experience participating in the intervention 'Rehabilitation of Life' and how this relates to their sense of empowerment. METHOD Qualitative data were generated from 16 semi-structured interviews with patients experiencing a hip fracture and subsequent rehabilitation in the program "Rehabilitation of Life' The data was analysed using Graneheim and Lundman's concept-guided qualitative content analysis method. RESULTS The analysis revealed five themes that the participants emphasised as vital to their rehabilitation: getting information and care when hospitalised, early visits from healthcare professionals after returning to their homes, the social aspect of training together with others, rehabilitation provision by skilled and empathic staff, and acceptance of a new me. The five themes indicated that adults aged >65 years generally experienced rehabilitation after hip fractures as motivating and reassuring. CONCLUSION Social support and peer programs can significantly improve the rehabilitation of older adults with hip fractures. The Rehabilitation of Life intervention has shown that promoting successful rehabilitation requires patient-centred strategies that encourage collaboration between different sectors. To increase patients' empowerment and engagement in their health journey, it is important to consider changes in patients' behaviour, increase their autonomy and ensure their independence after rehabilitation.

Factors associated with concerns about falling and activity restriction in older adults after hip fracture: a mixed-methods systematic review. Eur Geriatr Med 2024; 15:305-332. [PMID: 38418713 PMCID: PMC10997732 DOI: 10.1007/s41999-024-00936-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate factors contributing to concerns about falling and activity restriction in the community among older adults who had a hip fracture. METHODS A mixed method systematic review with a convergent segregated approach. We searched Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, PEDRo, CINAHL and the Cochrane library. Results were synthesised narratively considering physical, psychological, environmental, care, and social factors and presented in tables. Critical appraisal was completed in duplicate. RESULTS We included 19 studies (9 qualitative, 9 observational, 1 mixed methods) representing 1480 individuals and 23 factors related to concerns about falling and activity restriction. Physical factors included falls history, comorbidities, balance, strength, mobility and functionality. Psychological factors included anxiety and neuroticism scores, perceived confidence in/control over rehabilitation and abilities, and negative/positive affect about the orthopaedic trauma, pre-fracture abilities and future needs. Environmental factors included accessibility in the home, outdoors and with transport. Social and care factors related to the presence or absence of formal and informal networks, which reduced concerns and promoted activity by providing feedback, advice, encouragement, and practical support. CONCLUSION These findings highlight that to improve concerns about falling and activity restriction after hip fracture, it is important to: improve physical and functional abilities; boost self-confidence; promote positive affect; involve relatives and carers; increase access to clinicians, and; enhance accessibility of the home, outdoors and transport. Most factors were reported on by a small number of studies of varying quality and require replication in future research.

Abstract
Sedentary behavior poses a significant health risk to older adults. The purpose of this scoping review is to summarize key findings from qualitative research (since 2012), with a focus on explaining prevailing research trends and patterns within the field. This review included 25 studies that met the strict inclusion criteria. Five key research themes have emerged: (1) defining and shaping perspectives of sedentary behavior, (2) understanding the dynamics of daily routines and contexts, (3) raising awareness of older adults' perceived advantages and disadvantages of sedentary behavior, (4) identifying its determinants and discouraging factors, and (5) exploring interventions to promote active behaviors and reduce sedentary behavior. These themes highlight the multifaceted nature of SB and underscore the importance of tailoring interventions to address individual, social, and environmental issues. A comprehensive understanding of SB is critical to developing effective strategies to promote active lifestyles and reduce SB in older adults. Further qualitative research is needed to deepen our understanding and develop targeted interventions and strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient motivation is an important determinant of rehabilitation outcomes. Differences in patients' and clinicians' perceptions of motivational factors can potentially hinder patient-centered care. Therefore, we aimed to compare patients' and clinicians' perceptions of the most important factors in motivating patients for rehabilitation. METHODS This multicenter explanatory survey research was conducted from January to March 2022. In 13 hospitals with an intensive inpatient rehabilitation ward, 479 patients with neurological or orthopedic disorders undergoing inpatient rehabilitation and 401 clinicians, including physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language-hearing therapists, were purposively selected using inclusion criteria. The participants were asked to choose the most important factor motivating patients for rehabilitation from a list of potential motivational factors. RESULTS Here we show that realization of recovery, goal setting, and practice related to the patient's experience and lifestyle are the three factors most frequently selected as most important by patients and clinicians. Only five factors are rated as most important by 5% of clinicians, whereas nine factors are selected by 5% of patients. Of these nine motivational factors, medical information (p < 0.001; phi = -0.14; 95% confidence interval = -0.20 to -0.07) and control of task difficulty (p = 0.011; phi = -0.09; 95% confidence interval = -0.16 to -0.02) are selected by a significantly higher proportion of patients than clinicians. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that when determining motivational strategies, rehabilitation clinicians should consider individual patient preferences in addition to using the core motivational factors supported by both parties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A better understanding of performance in functional mobility tasks related to the mortality patterns for the different causes of death for the Brazilian older population is still a challenge. OBJECTIVE To analyze if gait speed and chair stand test performance are associated with mortality in older adults, and if the overall mobility status changes the effect of other mortality risk factors. METHODS The data were from SABE (Health, Well-being and Aging Study), a multiple-cohort study conducted in São Paulo, Brazil, with a representative sample of people aged 60 and more. Cox regression models were used to analyze 10-year all-cause and cause-specific mortality with consideration for gait speed and the chair stand test. RESULTS Of the 1411 participants, 26% died during the follow-up. The performance in the chair stand test had a more consistent association with mortality (hazard ratio (HR)=1.03, 95%CI: 1.00, 1.05) than gait speed. Being unable to perform the test also increased the risk to die by all-cause (HR=1.71, 95%CI: 1.21, 2.42) and by diseases of the circulatory system (HR=2.14, 95%CI: 1.25, 3.65). The stratified analysis of mobility performance changed the effects of some of the mortality risk factors, such as cognitive impairment and multimorbidity. CONCLUSIONS The chair stand test could be a better choice than 3-meters walking test as a mortality predictor. In addition, the impact of cognitive decline and multimorbidity were greater among those with reduced mobility, supporting the development of preventive interventions and public policies targeted at more vulnerable groups of older adults.

Abstract
While the importance of physical activity in older adults is beyond doubt, there are significant barriers limiting the access of older adults to physical exercise. Existing technologies to support physical activity in older adults show that, despite their positive impacts on health and well-being, there is in general a lack of engagement due to the existing reluctance to the use of technology. Usefulness and usability are two major factors for user acceptance along with others, such as cost, privacy, equipment and maintenance requirements, support, etc. Nevertheless, the extent to which each factor impacts user acceptance remains unclear. Furthermore, other stakeholders, besides the end users, should be considered in the decision-making process to develop such technologies, including caregivers, therapists and technology providers. In this paper, and in the context of physical rehabilitation and exercise at home, four different alternatives with incremental characteristics have been defined and considered: a software-based platform for physical rehabilitation and exercise (Alternative 1), the same software platform with a conventional RGB camera and no exercise supervision (Alternative 2), the same software platform with a convention RGB camera and exercise supervision (Alternative 3) and finally, the same software platform with a depth camera and exercise supervision (Alternative 4). A multiple attribute decision-making methodology, based on the ordinal priority approach (OPA) method, is then applied using a group of experts, including end users, therapists and developers to rank the best alternative. The attributes considered in this method have been usefulness, cost, ease of use, ease of technical development, ease of maintenance and privacy, concluding that Alternative 3 has been ranked as the most appropriate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a multidimensional program including home-based standing exercises, health education, and telephone support for the reduction of sedentary behavior in community-dwelling frail older adults. The secondary aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and adherence of the program. STUDY DESIGN A single-blind, randomized controlled trial. METHODS A total of 43 frail older adults were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. The intervention consisted of combined strategies including home-based standing exercises, health education, and telephone support for 16 weeks for frail older adults. The control group received orientation regarding the harmful effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Sedentary behavior was evaluated by total sedentary time, accumulated sedentary time in bouts of at least 10 min, and by the break in sedentary time, measured by an accelerometer used for at least 600 min/day for 4 days. Safety was assessed by self-reporting of possible adverse events. Adherence was assessed based on the number of days in which standing exercises were performed by the participants. Repeated measures ANOVA and Tukeys post hoc test were used to analyze the collected data. RESULTS The intervention group reduced the sedentary time by 30 min/day (p= 0.048), but without significant maintenance after 30 days of the program. Of the total number of participants, 82% (n = 14) of the intervention group participants showed more than 70% adherence to the program. The main adverse effects faced by the intervention group participants were tiredness (53%; n = 9) and lower limb pain (47%; n = 8). CONCLUSIONS The multidimensional program reduced sedentary behavior, was safe, and showed satisfactory adherence in frail older adults.
