Summary

This trial aims to reduce falls and injuries in adults at risk by assessing their mobility, providing obstacle course and strategies training, and walking/balance training.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-100 who are at risk of falling, can attend sessions twice a week for five weeks, and have medical clearance to participate. They should be able to perform basic mobility tasks like getting up from a chair in less than 45 seconds. People on anti-coagulants without doctor's approval or those unable to kneel or sit on the floor aren't eligible.
What is being tested?
The study tests a Falls Prevention Program aimed at improving functional mobility and reducing fall risks and injuries. Participants will undergo assessments, obstacle course training, strategies training, as well as walking and balance exercises.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this program involves physical activity designed for fall prevention, potential side effects may include muscle soreness or strain. However, serious side effects are unlikely given that participants receive medical clearance.
