Standing Strong in Tribal Communities: Assessing Elder Falls Disparity

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Falls and fall-related injuries are major health risks in American Indian elders. The data showed 52 percent of Zuni elders reporting a fall during the past year, which is significantly higher than the US national average of one out of three adults older then 65 years. In partnership with Zuni Pueblo leadership and community stake holders, the feasibility will be reviewed in hopes of implementing Community Health Representative delivered fall risk screening and evidence-based Otago Exercise Program with physical therapist consultation to address lack of access to home delivered physical therapy and health disparity, as well as empower the participants to address fall risk, avert injury, and preserve aging in place within their community.
