Summary

Falls are the largest cause of death in the elderly and those in nursing homes have even a higher incidence of falling. The purpose of this study is to determine whether listening to the Music of Nolwenn Leroy daily is effective in fall prevention in those elderly patients who are residents in several Texas geriatric nursing home facilities. The music of Nolwenn Leroy has been shown to be effective in fall reduction in a different setting (Posturographic Changes and Fall Prevention associated with Music Therapy: The Nolwenn Effect (USA ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00121693) )with results better than listening to Mozart of any other music. Another similar study (USA ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT00272272)is presently being conducted in a geriatric nursing home facility in Georgia. Dynamic posturographic measurments will be obtained from all residents and compared to normative age related data and utilized to measure stability changes in this study.
