Summary

This study compares the effects of three home-based exercise programmes in "at-risk to falling" older adults living in their own home on the incidence of falls (number and severity), risk factors, and quality of life as well as on the adherence to exercise. The subjects will be randomized and allocated in three groups. The group A will receive the "Test-and-Exercise" home-based programme (T\&E), the group B will receive the "Otago" home-based exercise programme and the group C (activ-control group) will receive the "Helsana" booklet
