Objective: The purpose is to identify the effects of the exercise education programme on fall prevention of community-dwelling elderly. Methods: A single blind preliminary randomized control trial was conducted. Participants (N Z 10) in the experimental group was assigned to an exercise education programme which consisted of 28 sessions, 30w40 minutes per day for 4 weeks and a self-management telephone monitoring programme once every two days. Participants (N Z 8) in the control group received no intervention. The effectiveness of exercise education programme was measured by fall index, balance confidence scale, and balance scale. Results: The fall risks decreased from moderate to minimum in the experimental group (p < .001). Balance confidence scores increased, especially 6 items measured statistically significant increases (p < .05). However, balance scores did not show statistically significant improvement. Conclusion: The exercise education programme might be effective for fall prevention of community-dwelling elderly.
