Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of Steady Feet, a three-month community-based falls prevention exercise program.
Detailed description
Participants aged 60 or older, at high risk of falls, with Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) scores between 7 and 11, and without significant cognitive or vision impairment, were recruited for a non-randomized, two-arm study. They were evaluated at baseline and the third month. The intervention group (IG) underwent Steady Feet and CGH's standard care for fall prevention, while the control group (CG) received CGH's standard care for fall prevention. Feasibility was assessed across Bowen's domains, including acceptability, demand, implementation, practicality, adaptation, and limited efficacy. Measurements included SPPB, Timed Up and Go, the 6-minute walk test, the Four-Square Step Test, the CONFbal scale, and a satisfaction survey administered to IG participants. Between-groups statistical analyses will be performed.
