The Course consists of the original 22 OTAGO Exercise Programme exercises, designed to prevent falls and improve balance, strength and confidence, that made up the original OTAGO Exercise Programme home exercise study design. There are some additional warm up and cool down exercises to ensure current international guidelines are followed. The specific order and progressions for each exercise is predetermined for OEP Leaders by LLT.
The Otago Exercise Programme Leaders Award was developed in collaboration with Professor John Campbell and Dr Clare Robertson of Otago University, New Zealand and with Julie Whitney of Kings College Hospital Trust, London, UK and launched by LLT in 2007. Susie Dinan, Dawn Skelton and Sheena Gawler are the LLT developers of this course. An article, in FitPro, about the OEP course can be seen here.
The OEP is an evidence based home exercise programme with a group exercise application. It is a L2 course because it is a ‘pre-set’ programme of exercises, where OEP Leaders work alongside other health professionals and as part of a broader falls prevention service.
We also run 2 days intensive courses for Physiotherapists and Therapy Instructors (Tis), with at least one years experience of teaching older adults. One day covers the practical delivery of the exercises (and support) and one day is the Assessment.
The face to face course runs over 3 full days (9 am – 5.15 pm). 2 face to face course days followed by 1 day practical assessment. This course runs over a minimum of 4 weeks to allow task oriented practice before the assessment.
Once you have watched all of these, there is an MCQ quiz for you to complete online plus a short answer worksheet for you to complete and send to us (both of these form part of your assessment/award) prior to the face to face training.
More recently, ProAct65+, a research study looking at primary prevention has shown that OEP is less effective at reducing falls in low risk patients than FaME (PSI) so it is clear that OEP is suitable for frailer older people at high risk of falls and is a starting point for moving people into more challenging balance exercise for ongoing gains.
The Otago Exercise Programme is a set of musclestrengthening and balance retraining exercisesdelivered during four or five home visits by atrained instructor. The main features of the programme are listed in Table 3.
In this younger sample, there was no evidence that the Otago Exer cise Programme reduced falls. ¥ In both T rial 1 and T rial 2, a physiotherapist delivered the exercise programme in a tightly controlled research setting. In or der to test the exer cise pr ogramme in a Òreal lifeÓ situation, two further trials were run from routine healthcare service settings.
A second randomised controlled trial tested two interventions to prevent falls in people aged 65 and older who regularly took psychotropic (sleeping) medication.
Comprehensive economic evaluations of the exercise programme have been carried out in three different settings.
The Otago Exercise Programme was tested again in people 80 and older in a community implementation trial.
Most domestic students who are new to tertiary education will be eligible for one year of fees-free study at Otago.
