Brief Summary

Action Seniors!: A 12-Month Randomized Controlled Trial of a Home Based Strength and Balance Retraining Program in Reducing Falls Risk Factors

Conditions

Falls

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Falls Risk Factors as measured by the Physiological Profile Assessment (PPA) and its five components (vision, reaction time, knee extension strength, proprioception, sway)

  12 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Fear of falling, cost, injurious falls, Physiologic Profile Assessment (overall score and subcomponents), cognitive performance based on standard neuropsychological tests, and everyday function. All measured at 6 and 12 months

  12 months
