Summary

The goal of this mixed methods cohort study is to explore how an innovative game-based, technology-enabled home exercise software compares to a conventional home-based exercise program in older adults at risk for falls. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* Does the exercise software lead to better or similar adherence to exercise recommendations compared to the conventional exercise program?
* Does the exercise software improve user strength and balance, as measured by relevant physical function scores?
* Do participants find the exercise software enjoyable and acceptable?

Participants will be approached during their initial fall risk assessment to see if they are interested in taking part. Those who agree to participate will choose either the exercise software or the conventional exercise program and will be instructed to:

* Perform their respective exercise program for a minimum of 3 times a week for 3 months.
* Return to clinic in 3 months to see our C-FAST physiotherapist for reassessment of their relevant physical functional tests.
* For conventional exercise program only - Document exercise compliance in an exercise log.
* For software program only - Complete a survey regarding the use of the technology.

Researchers will compare software-use cohort versus conventional exercise program cohort to see if adherence and physical function scores are comparable.
