Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Non-randomised trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Swan Districts Hospital (SDH) physiotherapy and nursing staff will be given flyers notifying them of the study outline as well as participant inclusion and exclusion criteria. The SDH Geriatrician will be included in the participant recruitment process as well as participant screening. The majority of the participants are expected to come from recent falls/deconditioned patients via geriatrician referral. Participant flyers will also be placed in the SDH outpatient department for prospective participants to see, expression of interested are then referred to physiotherapist.



Eligible patients will be given the study information verbally by the researcher, and in writing via the information and consent forms. Patients will be encouraged to discuss their proposed participation with family or carers. Patients who subsequently provide informed written consent will be enrolled into the six month study

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
The sample size calculated based on determining the feasiblity of being able to provide the intervention. This involves determining how much time the intervention will take to deliver including making the DVD. It has been determined that we will need to assess a minimum of 5 patients to become expert in making the DVD with a real patient. This is based on our trials with normal subjects. This trial is not testing a hypothesis but if the intervention is feasible and older people respond positively we can then progress to a larger pilot study, which does test hypotheses. This trial will examine the feasibility and inform the design, in particular the novel DVD intervention to provide exercise prescription, as well as sample size calculations for future larger randomised controlled trials. We will collect data on aspects of the trial procedure, including number of subjects who consent to participate from the potential cohort of subjects, and the number of drop outs from the study, amount of time required to make the DVD, quality of the finished product and ability of the exercises to be filmed “live” in an outpatient department

Quantitative data will be analysed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data will be transcribed, coded and thematically analysed.
