Summary

This study compares two methods of delivering the Otago Exercise Program, a strength and balance program designed to reduce falls in older adults. One method uses a physiotherapist with a coaching approach and a Fitbit for feedback, while the other uses traditional delivery. Researchers will track how well the program is followed, the number of falls, and whether the coaching method is cost-effective over 24 months. The study involves 35 adults over 70 who have had a recent fall.
