Abstract

Background: Falls have high socioeconomic costs. Information and communication technologies may support provision and monitoring of multisensory (MSR) physiotherapy programmes. The HOLOBalance platform used augmented reality holograms to provide patient-centred, individualised MSR.

Objectives: To determine the platform's safety, acceptability and feasibility, investigate functional gait and dynamic balance benefits and provide data for a definitive trial.

Design and setting: Single-blinded pilot randomised controlled feasibility study. Interventions were conducted at clinical sites or participants' homes in three European countries.

Participants: Community-dwelling older adults (median age 73 years; 64.2% female) at risk of falls were enrolled (May 2020-August 2021).

Methods: Participants were randomised to an 8-week clinic or home-based telerehabilitation MSR or OTAGO (control group) programme. Compliance, satisfaction, and adverse events determined feasibility. Clinical outcomes, assessed (blinded) within one-week prior to and post-intervention, included functional gait assessment (FGA), Mini BESTest and cognitive function.

Results: Randomisation to completion rate was 76.15% with 109 participants recruited (n = 289 screened). Drop-out rate was similar between groups. Adverse events were reported (n = 3) in the control group. Sixty-nine percent would recommend the HOLOBalance intervention. Findings were similar for the home and clinic-based arms of each intervention; data was combined for analysis. FGA (95%CI [1.63, 4.19]) and Mini-BESTest (95%CI [1.46, 3.93]) showed greater improvement in the HOLOBalance group with a clinically meaningful change of 4/30 noted for the FGA.

Conclusions: HOLObalance was feasible to implement and acceptable to older adults at risk of falls, with FGA and Mini-BEST improvements exceeding those for the OTAGO programme. A definitive trial is warranted.

与针对有跌倒风险的老年人的标准护理相比,HOLObalance 远程康复系统的可行性和可接受性:HOLOBalance 评估师盲法随机对照试验研究。
背景:跌倒的社会经济成本很高。信息和通信技术可支持多感官(MSR)物理治疗方案的提供和监测。HOLOBalance 平台利用增强现实全息图提供以患者为中心的个性化 MSR:确定该平台的安全性、可接受性和可行性,调查功能性步态和动态平衡的益处,并为最终试验提供数据:单盲试验性随机对照可行性研究。干预在三个欧洲国家的临床机构或参与者家中进行:有跌倒风险的社区老年人(中位数年龄为 73 岁;64.2% 为女性)被纳入研究(2020 年 5 月至 2021 年 8 月):参与者被随机分配到为期 8 周的诊所或家庭远程康复 MSR 或 OTAGO(对照组)项目中。依从性、满意度和不良事件决定了该计划的可行性。干预前后一周内的临床结果评估(盲法)包括功能步态评估(FGA)、Mini BESTest和认知功能:随机完成率为 76.15%,共招募了 109 名参与者(n = 289 名筛选者)。各组的退出率相似。对照组有不良事件报告(n = 3)。69%的人愿意推荐 HOLOBalance 干预疗法。家庭干预组和诊所干预组的结果相似;数据合并进行分析。FGA(95%CI [1.63,4.19])和Mini-BESTest(95%CI [1.46,3.93])显示,HOLOBalance组的改善幅度更大,其中FGA的临床意义变化为4/30:结论:HOLObalance 的实施是可行的,有跌倒风险的老年人也能接受,FGA 和 Mini-BEST 的改善程度超过了 OTAGO 计划。有必要进行最终试验。
