Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This project is to analyze the outcomes of the Alpena Otago Telehealth Program. The Alpena Senior Citizens Center is implementing the Otago program, an evidence-based, 6-month, home exercise program using live video chats in combination with an online exercise app, Blue Marble. We will recruit seniors who are participants of the Alpena Otago Telehealth Program to allow the study team to analyze their outcomes. The goal of the study is to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a 6-month, home-based, Otago Telehealth program for seniors in Alpena.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Retention rate [6 months]

    Number of participants completing the program

  2. Fall Risk Questionnaire (FRQ) [6 months]

    The Fall Risk Questionnaire (FRQ) is a self-reported questionnaire with 12 questions for fall risk factors. Each question is rated 0 for NO (negative) and 1 for YES (positive) for fall risk factor. The sum of scores from all questions is the test score. A FRQ score >=4 indicates increased fall risk. Higher scores correspond to higher fall risk.

  3. Activities-specific Balance Scale (ABC) [6 months]

    The Activities-specific Balance Scale (ABC) is a self-reported questionnaire of balance confidence during daily activities with 16 items. Each item is rated from 0% (NO confidence) to 100% (Completely confident) on maintaining balance for a daily task. The average of scores from all items is the test score. An ABC score <=67% indicates increased fall risk. Lower scores correspond to high worse balance confidence and higher fall risk.

  4. PROMIS Global Health Scale v1.2 (PROMIS) [6 months]

    The PROMIS Global Health Scale v1.2 (PROMIS) is a self-reported questionnaire for health-related quality of life in physical and mental health domains.

  5. Exercise adherence [6 months]

    Number of exercise trials completed by each participant

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. 30-Second Chair Stand Test (30CST) [6 months]

    The 30-Second Chair Stand Test (30CST) measures functional lower extremity strength.

  2. Timed Up and Go (TUG) [6 months]

    The Timed Up and Go (TUG) measures the time it takes a person to rise up form a chair, walk 10 feet at a normal pace, turn around and sit back down in the chair with or without a mobility device. The test measures mobility.

  3. Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) [6 months]

    The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is a questionnaire of difficulty in activities of daily living. Participants are asked to identify daily activities, work, or leisure activities which they want to do, need to do, or are expected to do on a typical day.

  4. Program acceptance [6 months]

    Program acceptance is a semi-structured questionnaire about the participant's satisfaction and acceptance of program. The participants rate their opinions about the expectation, easy of use, perceived benefits and effectiveness of the exercise program on a scale of 1 to 4 (1 = "Strongly disagree", 2 = "Disagree", 3 = "Agree", 4= "Strongly Agree"). There are two open-questions about the frequency of exercise per week and suggestions for program improvement.
