Interventions for preventing falls in older people living in the community

A Post-Hospital Home Exercise Program Improved Mobility but Increased Falls in Older People: A Randomised Controlled Trial

“…These results differ from previous trials and meta-analyses showing fall prevention effects from home exercise interventions [5]. However, previous studies showing home exercise to prevent falls have been conducted in healthier older people than our sample.…”

Tai Chi Training may Reduce Dual Task Gait Variability, a Potential Mediator of Fall Risk, in Healthy Older Adults: Cross-Sectional and Randomized Trial Studies

“…DT stride variability offers a potentially sensitive metric for monitoring the impact of TC on fall risk with healthy aging. These findings also support the value of neurophysiological research evaluating how mind–body exercises like TC impact cognitive–motor interactions and confirm previous findings, which suggest that TC reduces the risk of falls in older adults (Wolf et al, 1996 ; Gillespie et al, 2012 ). Future adequately powered studies are required to confirm these preliminary findings.…”

The effectiveness of exercises on fall and fracture prevention amongst community elderlies: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Our results concur with a previous review performed by Gillespie et al., in 2012 [ 32 ], which reported that the prevention of falls amongst community dwelling older adults included strengthening exercise and balance training. However, further to the analysis, our current study also investigated the effect of exercise interventions on fracture prevention.…”
