LiFE Pilot Study: A randomised trial of balance and strength training embedded in daily life activity to reduce falls in older adults

Abstract

LiFE was effective in reducing recurrent falls in this at-risk sample. However, there were minimal changes in secondary measures. The study was feasible in terms of recruitment, randomisation, blinding and data collection. A larger randomised trial is needed to investigate long-term efficacy, mechanisms of benefit and clinical significance of this new intervention.
