Traditional barriers to assistive technology-high costs, lengthy funding delays, lack of information, and poorly fitting off-the-shelf solutions-frequently lead to underuse, dissatisfaction, and environmental waste The BFB-IMPACT study evaluates the real-world effectiveness of Breizh Fabribus, a mobile workshop equipped with 3D printing and laser-cutting that produces and customizes assistive devices on site for people with disabilities in Finistère, France region. This retrospective, single-center investigation includes all service recipients from January 2024 to December 2025 and measures changes in users' ability to perform targeted activities at three months post-intervention. Secondary outcomes include user satisfaction and device utilization.

Advanced Practice Nurses for Fall Incidence PrevenTion in Very Old Robust Adults

APN-FIT is a hybrid type 1 clinical trial comparing the effect of an APN delivered fall prevention programme with standard care in non-frail patients. All participants will receive a full geriatric assessment at enrolment and, on a voluntary basis, physical activity programmes during the 12-month period. Falls occurring during the study will be recorded at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months after enrolment. An ancillary study will specifically examine implementation outcomes of the tested intervention.
