Fostering the implementation of transitional care innovations for older persons: Prioritizing the influencing key factors using a modified Delphi technique

Transitions in care for older persons requiring long-term care are common and often problematic. Therefore, the implementation of transitional care innovations (TCIs) aims to improve necessary or avert avoidable care transitions. Various factors were recognized as influencers to the implementation of TCIs.

How frail is frail? A systematic scoping review and synthesis of high impact studies

While the frailty index (FI) is a continuous variable, an FI score of 0.25 has construct and predictive validity to categorise community-dwelling older adults as frail or non-frail. Our study aimed to explore which FI categories (FI scores and labels) were being used in high impact studies of adults across diferent care settings and why these categories were being chosen by study authors.

A pilot voxel-based morphometry study of older adults after the PICMOR intervention program

Age-related decline in cognitive function, such as executive function, is associated with structural changes in the neural substrates, such as volume reductions in the lateral prefrontal cortex. To prevent or delay agerelated changes in cognitive function, cognitive intervention methods that employ social activity, including conversations, have been proposed in some intervention studies.

The impact of aging and reaching movements on grip stability control during manual precision tasks

Operating an object by generating stable hand-grip force during static or dynamic posture control of the upper extremities simultaneously is an important daily activity. Older adults require different attentional resources during grip strength control and arm movements. However, the impact of aging and reaching movements on precise grip strength and stability control among older adults is not well understood. This study investigated the impact of aging and reaching movements on grip strength and stability control in both hands of the upper extremities.
