Study Summary
There are many exercise approaches that have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing falls and fall risk in community-dwelling older adults. The Otago Exercise Program is one such program. The Otago Exercise Program has been tested in four randomized controlled trials and one controlled multi-center trial and was found to reduce falls in older men and women. The focus of the Otago Exercise Program is on improving strength and balance with a home-based balance exercise program. The goal of the current study is to evaluate whether a self-administered, tablet-based version of the Otago fall prevention program is both feasible and effective for reducing fall risk and improving balance in community-dwelling older adults.
Primary Outcome
ABC is a 16-item questionnaire regarding confidence to perform different activities (e.g., walking around the house, up and down stairs, and on icy surfaces) without losing balance. The scale ranges from 0% (no confidence at all) to 100% (completely confident). An overall average balance confidence score will be calculated for each subject.
