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.
