Study Overview

Brief Summary

Our findings support the idea that a combined home-based and community-based group exercise program can enhance physical balance, strength, and adherence to a greater extent than a home-based exercise program alone in community-dwelling older adults at risk of falling. However, the home-based exercise program alone also resulted in positive outcomes, making it a viable alternative and an opportunity to expand access to fall prevention programs for this demographic.
