AIMS: The aim of this study was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of implementing an exercise-based fall prevention programme for home-dwelling women in the > or = 80-year age group in Norway. METHODS: The impact of the home-based individual exercise programme on the number of falls is ba...
The conclusion of the researchers was that isokinetic and isometric assessment of the lower extremities strength in the elderly population can discriminate fallers and non fallers. As a result we can therefore classify older people in prevention programs according to their probability for falls....
Falling is a significant challenge in old age, often leading to isolation, self-imposed limitation, reduced movement, and muscle strength. This study aimed to explore the fear of falling and its related factors in older adults following a fall in Kashan, Iran. Methods This cross-sectional study...
