24 We did not come across studies investigating the sustainability of low-frequency interventions.
36 The sustainability of health effects has been researched only for moderate- to high-frequency interventions, but there are few studies, and these indicate mixed findings.
With regard to high-frequency interventions in the community-dwelling aged, Pollock et al found effects were no longer clear 4 months after trial completion.
Regarding high-frequency interventions, Meuleman et al were able to show improvement of function, particularly among individuals with more reduced functional health, but the effects had vanished at the 6- and 12-month follow-up visits.
to describe the timing and frequency of interventions during labour, and in addition to compare the timings of the interventions against the partogram action lines.
6 These results could be used as evidence to develop a future ME technology-related intervention in terms of the frequency of intervention or the technology type of intervention.
The audit data only provided information about the frequency of intervention rather than intervention intensity.
Data abstracted were author, year of publication, country, design, participants (discipline and level), sample size, outcome, EBP intervention, duration and frequency of intervention, instruments for evaluating education, feasibility, and the types of reliability and validity assessed.
Intervention of such a program with extension of time or increase of the frequency of interventions may also be worthy of studying.
Participants were told the SWBV intervention was an "ultra-low frequency" vibration intervention that is "very different" to the WBV intervention.
