Abstract

Background: This paper identifies the independent predictors of falls in an implementation study of Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance^® (TJQMBB) in older adults in rural West Virginia churches.

Methods: Falls and injuries were identified via calendars, questionnaire, and verbal reports.

Results: Fall predictors were gait speed (OR 0.27; 95% CI 0.08, 0.90); low back pain (OR 8.04; 95% CI 1.71, 37.79); and pain, stiffness, or swelling limiting activity (OR 2.44; 95% CI 1.09, 5.45).

Conclusions: Determining differences between fallers and non-fallers may identify people with different fall risk profiles and ultimately better tailor fall-prevention programming to individual needs.

西弗吉尼亚州乡村教堂太极拳干预中的跌倒和跌倒相关损伤。

背景：本文在《太极拳：为更好的平衡而运动®》（TJQMBB）在西弗吉尼亚州农村教堂老年人中的实施研究中确定了跌倒的独立预测因素。方法：通过日历、问卷和口头报告来确定跌倒和受伤情况。结果：跌倒预测因子为步态速度（OR 0.27；95%CI 0.080.90）；腰痛（OR 8.04；95%CI 1.71，37.79）；以及疼痛、僵硬或肿胀限制活动（or 2.44；95%CI 1.09，5.45）。结论：确定跌倒者和非跌倒者之间的差异可以识别具有不同跌倒风险的人，并最终更好地根据个人需求制定跌倒预防计划。
