Overview

Non-randomized intervention evaluates foot-care program effectiveness on fall prevention and mobility among elderly women, suggesting potential benefits.

Key Points

To assess the effectiveness of a foot-care awareness program on foot morphology and fall prevention in elderly women.
Non-randomized intervention design
Participants included 11 elderly women receiving foot-care advice and training
A control group of 10 elderly women received no intervention
Measurements taken at baseline and after 6 months
Evaluated foot form, functional capacity, subjective movement, and physical function.
90% of the intervention group maintained or improved foot form
None in the intervention group fell during the post-intervention period
30% of the control group improved foot form; 40% fell
Significant difference in fall rates and foot morphology improvements (p = 0.0075).
