The Balance and Foot Health Program for Older Adults: A Randomized Study
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Emile Roux
Summary
Every year in France, 2 million falls by people over 65 are responsible for 10,000 deaths, the leading cause of accidental death, and more than 130,000 hospitalizations. The primary objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of adding 12 weekly foot health workshops to balance workshops on mobility among older adults living in nursing homes, compared to a program based exclusively on balance workshops.
