STUDY OF THE BEST FORMAT FOR PROVIDING ADVICE ON IMPROVING BALANCE
These webpages have been developed by health researchers at the
University of Southampton, who are comparing how helpful people find
two different ways of providing advice on improving balance.
- One way of giving advice is to just tell you all the possible advice suitable for all types of people
- The other way of giving advice is to ask some questions about your balance, health, and preferences, and then give you personal advice based on this information
If you click on 'Continue' you will receive one of these two types of advice.
The website will take you through the advice page by page, so it is important
not to skip pages. When you get to the end of the advice and complete a few
questions on your views of the advice, you will be provided with more details
of the advice in an advice pack that you can save or print.
We will use your views of the advice to improve the advice we give in future, but this information will not include any personal details that would tell us who you are.
If you are happy for us to collect information about your views of the advice just click on 'Continue' below.
If you would like any further information about the study, you can email Mr Sam Nyman on Sam.Nyman@soton.ac.uk, who is the researcher carrying out the study under the supervision of Professor Lucy Yardley, an international expert on balance rehabilitation. All the advice on this website is in accordance with a report made by the World Health Organisation, and has been approved by clinical experts in the field.
