简要总结
The study aims to assess the effect on functional balance of Otago exercise performed as home exercise versus group exercise. The investigators hypothesize that Otago exercise is more effective performed as group exercise than home exercise.
详细描述
The study sample is drawn from persons referred to a falls outpatient clinic. Group exercise and home exercise are delivered by trained physiotherapists. Home exercise follows the original Otago exercise protocol. Group exercise is performed twice a week. The length of the intervention period is 3 months. The main outcome measure is the Berg Balance Scale.
