Summary

This study looked at whether adding strength training to the proven Otago Exercise Program can improve balance and reduce fall risk in adults aged 60 and older. Twenty-eight participants completed an 8-week program of either Otago exercises alone or Otago plus progressive strength training. Researchers measured actual balance and confidence in avoiding falls to see if the combined approach works better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Otago Exercise Program plus strength training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a simple, effective exercise program to help older adults prevent falls and stay independent.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise programs require ongoing commitment and may not work for all individuals.
