Summary

This study's main aim is to compare the effect of a modified FaME vs. a multisensory balance exercise programme on falls risk, balance confidence and quality of life in older adults who fall or at risk of falling when implemented in a group setting.

Conditions

  • Accidental Falls

Interventions

OTHER

modified FaME

Group based exercise classes one hour weekly for 16 weeks. Each exercise class will have 8-10 participants and two instructors. The components of the FaME programme include specific falls management strategies, such as bone loading, gait, dynamic posture, balance, reaction and co-ordination training, functional floor activities to improve coping skills and confidence.

OTHER

Multisensory

Group based exercise classes one hour weekly for 16 weeks. Each exercise class will have 8-10 participants and two instructors.Participants will receive an initial assessment by the research physiotherapists to determine the most appropriate interventions for each participant. Interventions used will include: 1. Limits of stability training with eyes open / eyes closed 2. Self induced movement strategies with eyes open / eyes closed 3. Gaze stability exercises in sitting / standing / walking 4. Sensory integration 5. Habituation exercises
