First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a simple, home-based exercise program (the Otago Exercise Program) could lower fall risk in older adults who have both mild cognitive impairment (mild memory problems) and a recent hip fracture from a fall. Sixty participants aged 65 and older were followed for 6 months. The goal was to see if the exercises improved balance, mobility, and overall safety compared to usual care.
