Older people may have long-term health conditions and take medications that can increase their risk of bleeding (blood thinners). The UK national guidelines recommend that older people who are on blood thinning medications should have a CT head scan considered due to concerns of a brain bleed if they have hit their head after a fall. Many older people are therefore brought into hospital for assessment. However, the risk of bleeding in the brain is very low especially if older people do not have any symptoms such as loss of consciousness, weakness, headaches or vomiting. Some people could experience long waits in the emergency department or end up being admitted to hospital unnecessarily. This could worsen mobility, cause confusion, pressure sores or infections in older people.\n\nMore importantly, older people should have a comprehensive falls assessment to reduce their risk of future falls and have their medications reviewed after experiencing a fall. These assessments could potentially take place in their own homes if they prefer, rather than in hospital. Yet, current healthcare services outside the hospital setting may not be set up to manage an older person after fall.\n\nUsing an online survey, the investigators want to understand how current healthcare services in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight (HIOW) region work to look after older people who have had a fall. The study will focus particularly on older people taking blood thinning medications who may have a head injury but do not have any symptoms. The investigators will ask NHS workers what their role is, where they work and what they do when assessing an older person who has fallen if there is a concern about head injury. The survey will also ask participants to describe what challenges they may face, and if they have any suggestions to improve the care for older people.\n\nThis study will help the investigators understand what services are available in our current healthcare system for older people on blood thinning medications who have fallen and may have a head injury. The investigators hope that the results will help improve how healthcare services can work together with older people and their closed ones to provide care based on what matters most to them in their preferred place of care.

This leads to confidence loss, isolation, fractures, and hospitalizations. Treadmill training, augmented by mechanical\u002Fvirtual-reality triggers, has proven effective in enhancing gait and reducing falls. However, underlying treadmill training mechanisms are unclear. To personalize training, we'll explore how PD patients benefit and transfer effects to daily life.\n\nThis trial is part of three parallel randomized controlled trials within the Steps Against the Burden of Parkinson's Disease (CT-IDs: 6ef2e427b002, 6ef2e427b003, 6ef2e427b004) project, which will perform a pooled analysis across all sites in addition to individual RCT analyses. Each trial adheres to a shared core protocol while allowing for adaptations in the perturbation protocol, ensuring that data can be combined. Importantly, mechanistic findings and outcomes from this specific RCT will be reported independently, but also as part of a pooled analysis.\n\nIn this trials, PD patients will undergo treadmill training with and without adaptaions (perturbations). 12 sessions of treadmill training will be provided, with pre\u002Fpost assessments and a follow-up with pre\u002Fpost assessments and a follow-up at 8 to 12 weeks after the post assessment. For post treadmill training a phone app will be offered as a home-based speed dependent walk training intervention. This intervention is an App based training for gait adaptability and allows users to set their own training time and pace. It delivers a rhythmic metronomic beat for three different walking speeds, designed to trigger movement and encourage better walking patterns.. Gait improvements are expected, driven by sensorimotor integration improving balance control. Biomechanical data analysis will reveal enhanced foot placement control. Neurophysiological changes will be studied through EEG and EMG, aiming to find improved gait stability with reduced EEG beta power and increased EEG-EMG coherence.\n\nGait improvement in the lab might not correlate with daily-life results. Gait self-efficacy could influence transfer, prompting investigation into mechanistic associations with mobility outcomes. Remote digital tools will assess week-long mobility outcomes, employing machine learning to comprehend why some improve both in lab and life, while others don't.
