Balance measures for fall risk screening in community-dwelling older adults wit...
Nguyen, Khang T.; Brooks, Dina; Macedo, Luciana G.; Ellerton, Cindy; Goldstein, Roger; Alison, Jennifer A.; Dechman, Gail; Harrison, Samantha L.Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increases fall risk, but consensus is lacking on suitable balance measures for fall risk screening in this group. We aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of balance measures for fall risk screening in community-dwelling older adults with COPD. Methods In a secondary analysis of two studies, participants, aged ≥60 years with COPD and 12-month fall...
Development of a core outcome set for physiotherapy trials in adults with bronc...
Hamzeh, Hayat; Kelly, Carol; Lee, Annemarie L.; Spinou, Arietta; Marques, Alda; Herrero-Cortina, Beatriz; Burtin, Chris; Hall, Kathleen; Spencer, SallyBackground: Physiotherapy is recommended for bronchiectasis management, but there is disparity in evidence supporting its use. This is partly because of inconsistency and poor reporting of outcomes in available studies. A Core Outcome Set (COS) may improve trial consistency and decrease reporting bias. This study aimed to develop a COS for physiotherapy clinical trials in adults with bronchiectasis. Methods: A ...
Pulmonary rehabilitation with balance training for fall reduction in chronic ob...
Hao, Qiukui; Brooks, Dina; Ellerton, Cindy; Goldstein, Roger; Lee, Annemarie L.; Alison, Jennifer A.; Dechman, Gail; Haines, Kimberley J.Background and objectives: Available evidence suggests that adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) performed substantially worse than healthy controls on many balance measures and balance training can improve the balance measures in this population. We conducted this study to determine the effects of incorporating balance training into pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on the incidence of falls at...

Herrero-Cortina, Beatriz; Lee, Annemarie L.; Oliveira, Ana; O'Neill, Brenda; Jácome, Cristina; Dal Corso, Simone; Poncin, William; Muñoz, GerardAirway clearance techniques (ACTs) are part of the main management strategy for patients with bronchiectasis. Despite being a priority for patients, accessibility, implementation and reporting of ACTs are variable in clinical settings and research studies. This European Respiratory Society statement summarises current knowledge about ACTs in adults with bronchiectasis and makes recommendations to improve the fu...
Validity of the activities-specific balance confidence scale in individuals wit...
Alsubheen, Sanaa A.; Beauchamp, Marla K.; Ellerton, Cindy; Goldstein, Roger; Alison, Jennifer A.; Dechman, Gail; Haines, Kimberley J.Limited research assessed the validity of the Activities-specific Balance Confidence, ABC) Scale in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD) at risk of falls. We report on the scale's construct and criterion validity.
