Summary
This study tested a personalized home-based program for seniors aged 60+ who had fallen at least twice in the past year. The program combined exercises, home safety changes, and education to reduce fear of falling. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited, but the goal was to help older adults stay active and confident.
