Summary

This study aims to examine the efficacy of the simplified Pilates exercise programme developed by a group of Pilates and rehabilitation experts in Hong Kong to reduce the risk of falling (the physical and psychological risk factors) of Hong Kong's older adults who might be prone to falling. It is hypothesized that a simplified Pilates exercise programme is efficacious in reducing the risk of falling (the physical and psychological risk factors) in Hong Kong's older adults who are at a medium to high risk of falling. There is no updated research that has specifically investigated an expertly designed simplified Pilates exercise programme and no research investigated it in Hong Kong as well. Therefore, this study is novel and important in investigating the efficacy of an expertly designed simplified Pilates exercise programme in Hong Kong's older population specifically developed for reducing the risk of falls. It could increase the intelligent choices of efficacious and easy-to-comply-with fall prevention exercise programmes (the 16-style simplified Pilates exercise programme) for older adults and reduce the impact of falls in the older population. The more the choices of simple and efficacious fall prevention programmes that are available for older adults, the more likely it is that they will be interested in complying with the programme. Consequently, this research could provide evidence of Pilates being used in fall prevention of older adults locally and globally.
