Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to guide older people living in the community on appropriate strategies within a fall prevention program. This program is aimed at training in physical exercises carried out through group workshops or at preventing risk situations at home.
Detailed Description
Two-arm, non-blind, non-inferiority experimental design. Multicenter, randomized trial. The study tries to assess whether a group intervention following the principles of the LiFE program is no less effective than individual intervention in reducing the incidence of falls.
