[ssba-buttons] [/sidebar] [sidebar-content]- Our review is the first to compare the effects of 25 types of exercise components on falls prevention in older adults, through network meta-analysis of 169 studies
- The results can inform evidence-informed exercise recommendations and be used to design effective fall prevention programs
- The combination of exercise components which was most effective in reducing the number of falls relative to no exercise was: anticipatory control, dynamic stability, functional stability limits, reactive control and flexibility
