Summary

The aim was to measure and compare the effects of supervised and unsupervised home exercises on the fall related variables.

Detailed description

There are several studies investigating the beneficial effects of exercise on physical function among elderly. However the trials that reporting beneficial effects of an exercise programme on psychosocial functions such as depression and falls efficacy are scarcend. And also these trials are designed to compare fully supervised experimental group with a control group receiving usual care. In only one, out of these studies, supervision was minimal and delivered via home visit. However no psychosocial function related outcome measure was evaluated. In the present study the investigators have intended to assess the effects of minimally supervised home exercise programme on physical and psychosocial fall related variables by comparing with unsupervised home exercise programme in community-dwelling older adults.
