A Personalized Video-based Exercise Program for Fall Prevention in Frail and Pre-frail Older Adult
Sponsor: McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre
Summary
This is a randomized interventional clinical trial, whereby 100 participants will be randomized to either follow the SAFE exercise program (experimental group) or not (control group). At the end of the intervention, the experimental group will be encouraged to continue doing the exercises, and the control group will have the opportunity to participate in the SAFE exercises. 12 weeks post-intervention, the investigators will follow up with participants by telephone to follow up whether they are still following the SAFE program or not.

Interventions
SAFE program (exercise intervention)
Participants will be asked to carry out the SAFE program with the help of a caregiver. Our healthcare professionals will visit them during the first week to explain to them and their caregivers how to perform the exercises correctly while using our website. All exercises will be performed using video capsules available on our website (https://safe-seniors.com/fr). The exercises are divided into 4 levels of difficulty: level 1 (light); level 2 (moderate); level 3 (moderate to vigorous); and level 4 (vigorous). Each level lasts 25 to 30 minutes and includes 5 exercise categories split into 5 videos: warm-up, strength, balance, flexibility, and endurance. The exercise intervention will include 3 sessions per week over 12 weeks.
