Summary

Evidence supports that dual-task training reduces fall risk among older adults. However, the current framework for preventive care for fall prevention in Hong Kong does not include formal cognitive training, while little to no emphasis is placed on combining physical and cognitive training (dual tasking) to prevent falls. Secondly, the healthcare costs for eligible Hong Kong citizens are subsidised by between 81 and 97% of the actual treatment cost. Therefore, there is a demanding need for cost-effective treatment to reduce the country's' economic burden. This project will assist policymakers and clinicians in recommending cost-effective treatments for fall prevention.
