Summary

This pilot study tests whether balance workshops can help older adults learn to get up from the floor after a fall. Many seniors who fall cannot get up on their own, which can lead to serious complications. The program includes exercises to improve balance, strength, and coordination, plus education on fall prevention. Researchers will see if the program is feasible and acceptable to both participants and physical therapists.
