Meta-analysis and GRADE profiles of exercise interventions for falls prevention in long-term care facilities.
TL;DR: Exercises with a balance component and exercises carried out with technical devices have beneficial effects, whereas exercises performed longer than 6 months are more effective than short‐term performances, which are useful for clinical decision‐makers in long‐term care facilities.
