Fall risk assessment is a necessary component of fall prevention programs. Accurate instruments to predict the risk of falling are paramount in identifying the correct patients in need of fall prevention measures. The purpose of this study was to prospectively validate the Hester Davis Scale (HDS) ...
This study aimed to identify the risk factors of fall amongst rehabilitation patients and to use them for developing and validating the Persian version of Fall Risk Assessment Scale (FRAS). Methods The current methodological study was c...
The estimation of an expected fall rate might improve the identification of individuals at risk of fragility fractures and improve fracture prediction. Methods A combined analysis of three previously developed fall rate models using individual participant data (n = 1850) was conducted using the ...
Therefore, for the patients with a risk of falls after admission, mWear serves as another pair of eyes and another "body" of health care providers and patient's family members. It identifies patient status (fall down, exercise, rest, and sleep) by continuously monitoring, and notifies the...
Falls are common in a range of clinical cohorts, where routine risk assessment often comprises subjective visual observation only. Typically, observational assessment involves evaluation of an individual’s gait during scripted walking protocols within a lab to identify deficits that potentially increase f...
Health Care System, nurse executives undertook a meta-analysis of published research on fall-risk assessment tools used with adult inpatients.Both random-effects and fixed-effects models showed that Morse Fall Scale had significantly higher sensitivity than St Thomas's Risk Assessment Tool (STRATIFY)....
Theoretical framework: The Morse Fall Scale (MFS) is a scale for assessing fall risk. It is designed for adults and widely used in Portugal. The scale should be calibrated for each particular setting so that fall prevention strategies are targeted to patients most at risk. Objective: To analys...
To score the Morse Fall Risk Scale, you need to: Evaluate the patient on each assessment item (e.g., if the patient does not have a history of falling, you would score them 0); Compute the sum of the scores to see which category your patent's score fits (i.e., whether the patie...
