TL;DR: In this paper, a home-based, e-health balance exercise program delivered through an app was tested to provide an effective, self-managed fall prevention program for community dwelling older people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statin) use and strength, balance and falls in older people
TL;DR: To investigate associations between HMG‐CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) use and muscle strength, balance, mobility and falls in older people, a new drug is introduced that acts as a ‘spatially aggregating agent’ to reduce the chance of falls.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The MMSE is an effective cognitive screening tool in urban Aboriginal populations and the mKICA is a good alternative when illiteracy, language or cultural considerations deem it appropriate.
Journal ArticleDOI
A home-based multidimensional exercise program reduced physical impairment and fear of falling
TL;DR: The home-based, individualized exercise program was effective in reducing several physical factors associated with falls in community-dwelling older people with moderate physical impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired Response Selection During Stepping Predicts Falls in Older People—A Cohort Study
TL;DR: Combined stepping and response inhibition as measured in a go/no-go test stepping paradigm predicted falls in older people and suggests that integrity of the response-selection component of a voluntary stepping response is crucial for minimizing fall risk.
