Resumen
[Abstract]
Introduction: Falls are the second leading cause of accidental or non-intentional deaths
worldwide and are the most common problem as people age. The primary purpose of addressing falls
is to detect, prevent, treat, and reduce their incidence and consequences. Previous studies identified
that multifactorial programs, an interprofessional team, and assistive technology are required to
address falls in older adults effectively. Accordingly, the research question is as follows: what are
the scope, type of studies, and approaches and strategies to fall risk using technology in the existing
occupational therapy literature regarding interventions to address the effects of falls in older adults
on daily living? Methods: This scoping review was carried out in January 2020 through Biblioteca
Virtual de Salud España, C.I.N.A.H.L., Cochrane Plus, OTSeeker, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science.
Results: Twelve papers were included. We analyzed the year and journal of publication, authors’
affiliation, and design of the study, and thematic categories. There were three themes: participants’
characteristics, type of intervention, and fall approach and type of technology used. Discussion and
Conclusions: The literature obtained is scarce. It is considered to still be an emerging theme, especially
when considering the use of technology for occupational therapy.
