Summary

This study tests whether watching animated exercise videos can reduce fear of falling and related anxiety in adults aged 65–80. Participants follow a video-guided program at home, while a control group receives standard fall-prevention advice. The goal is to see if this engaging, low-cost method improves mobility and confidence.

What this could lead to: If effective, this approach could offer a simple, scalable way to help older adults overcome fear of falling and stay active.
