  1. Values are Mean (SD). Changes have been calculated as post minus pre values (Post-Pre), except in the case of WOMAC for which differences have been calculated as Pre-Post. In all cases, negative differences indicate deterioration in patient functional status. Patients’ ability to perform basic activities of daily living (BADL) was assessed using the Barthel Index; their functional status was considered to have deteriorated if they obtained post-fall scores of <90 points or a pre-post score decrease of more than 10%. Patients’ ability to perform instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) was assessed using the Lawton Scale; their functional status was considered to have deteriorated if they obtained post fall scores of <5 points or a pre-post score decrease of 2 points. Changes in Barthel and Lawton scores were not compared between the groups, as these values were used for establishing the groups. LCF (WOMAC physical function domain); SF-12 PCS (SF-12 physical domain); SF-12 MCS (SF-12 mental domain).
