Summary

This study looked at whether adding extra strength training to the Otago Exercise Program (a proven balance program) helps older adults improve their balance and feel more confident about not falling. 28 adults aged 60 and older took part in an 8-week program. The goal was to see if the combined approach works better than balance exercises alone for preventing falls.
