Most of them have considered the falling behaviour of the friction coefficient with the slip velocity essential for reenergising the system.
As such, a study of post-fall behaviour in this setting enters the domain of patient-care provider interactions, beyond the scope of our current study.
Further "analysis packages" may build on the core template provided by the FVAQ, to probe issues such as pre-fall or post-fall behaviour, additional aspects of balance recovery or fall protective responses, or questions of known or suspected relevance to specific clinical subgroups or environments.
We did not consider post-fall behaviour, such as the ability to rise after falling [ 20], since preliminary viewing of videos indicated that, for the vast majority of falls in common areas in LTC, residents are assisted by care staff to rise after falling.
In addition, we hypothesized observing different levels in falls behaviour between the groups.
Whilst this finding needs to be interpreted with caution, the relationship between falling behaviour and emotional health in adults ageing with CP warrants further research.
Unlike other factors considered in this study such as GMFCS level which is unlikely to improve over adulthood [ 44], or age which cannot be altered, there may be the potential to enhance HRQOL by addressing falls behaviours in ambulant adults with CP.
"Do I find the Willy Loman character easier to watch than Linda; do I allow a man this type of slightly fallen, hubristic behaviour more than I do a woman?" Director Katie Mitchell is tackling the problem head on.
Engagement in falls prevention behaviours was less likely to occur when there were misunderstandings between patients and staff about the behaviours required on the ward.
The educators identified that there were facilitators that encouraged and supported patients to take up safe falls prevention behaviours, whereas barriers prevented or mitigated against patients engaging in their planned behavioural goals.
This included engaging with staff and patients, and assisting them to reconcile differing perspectives about falls prevention behaviours.
