Study Summary

This project aims to test the efficacy of an in-home intervention, "Activity, Balance, Learning, and Exposure" (ABLE), which integrates exposure therapy with cognitive restructuring, exercise, and home safety evaluation for older adults with excessive fear of falling. The intervention will be conducted by a licensed physical therapist. A control intervention will be conducted by a health educator. The specific aims of the study are to test the feasibility, acceptability, tolerability, and safety of the ABLE intervention.

Primary Outcome

Fear of Falling will be measured using the Falls Efficacy Scale - International (FES-I), a version of the most widely used measure of falls self-efficacy. Assessments are performed at baseline, 1 month, 2 months (end of intervention - primary outcome point). We will also collect data at 5 months (3 month follow-up) and 8 months (6 month follow-up).
