11. Researchers look at how Nintendo Wii Fit can stop elderly fallers

12. Researchers are looking into a fun solution to the serious issue of elderly people who are recurrent fallers. The project, which is jointly funded by the University and Colchester Hospital University Foundation Trust, will look into whether the Nintendo Wii Fit improves the balance and quality of life of elderly people who are regular fallers. With recurrent fallers costing the NHS and Social Services nearly £1 billion every year in terms of inpatient admissions and long-term care costs, it is a real health issue. There are a number of reasons why some elderly people fall – from frailty and lack of confidence to lack of practice moving about and other mobility issues. However, the knock-on effect can lead to them feeling anxious and less likely to move about, which can have a negative effect on their quality of life and make them feel depressed.

15. The research, being lead by Dr Murray Griffin and Dr Matthew Taylor, from the Department of Biological Sciences, will be done in conjunction with the falls prevention clinic at Colchester General Hospital, which helps recurrent fallers learn techniques to help them fall less and also how to get up if they do fall. ‘It is all about improving their quality of life and wellbeing so they have more confidence,’ explained Dr Griffin. One of the biggest problems with many types of physiotherapy aftercare is getting people to do the exercises. ‘But as many people think the Wii is fun, we are hoping more people will do the exercises. If compliance goes up it can have a positive effect on incidences of falling,’ added Dr Murray. The Wii Fit is also a great research tool for this project as it has a game which focuses on balance, is fun to use, records people’s progress and gives a visual feedback to how they are doing.

21. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning, I was nestled into the deep plush of a velvet sofa three floors above Bond Street with a moustached architect dressed head to toe in eyewateringly tight black leather. He talked in a breathy conspiratorial whisper about philosophical happiness and had me bend down to join him in lovingly stroking the carpet, which, he told me, was woven in a little workshop he owns in the Caribbean. In a changing room nearby, everyone from old-school aristos (Lady Helen Taylor) to latest-edition paparazzi-darlings (Daisy Lowe) was wriggling in and out of dresses, choosing which "looks" to borrow for last night's glitzy dinner. On the ground floor, uberstylist Katie Grand was holding court in pink sunglasses while a cleaner flicked non-existent dust from a case containing Princess Margaret's luggage. A moving sculpture by the artist Michael Landy entitled Credit Card Destroying Machine (component parts: antlers, teddy bears, rusty tools; and yes, it works) whirred away by the glass doors outside which Alexa Chung, in the midst of getting ready to host a live feed of party arrivals on Facebook, was having a fag break.
