Classification of Predictors of Falls in Elderly People with Hip Fractures Using the ICF

Abstract

Although the risk factors for falls in the elderly are known, little is known about their relationships with demographic factors, body impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions, and environmental factors. Objective: To map the structure of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to classify potential predictors of falls reported by elderly people hospitalized for surgical treatment of hip fractures. Method: Descriptive study with 64 elderly people operated on for hip fracture that occurred after a fall from standing height. Sociodemographic data were explored, in addition to the context of occurrence that led the elderly to fall. Data are presented descriptively and related to the ICF light. Results: Disabilities related to bodily functions were more related at the time of self-reported falls, especially neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related functions; in addition, environmental factors were present in half of the occurrences and consisted of barriers/obstacles to functionality and are related to extrinsic risk factors for falls. Conclusions: The biopsychosocial approach proposed by the ICF provides health professionals with a multidimensional overview of the health of the elderly and provides the best targeting of interventions, in order to provide functionality and quality of life, and reduce financial burden linked to the consequences of falls, such as surgical interventions.

Keywords: Accidental falls, Hip fractures, International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health
