| Description: |
Objective Exercise is an evidence-based strategy for preventing falls. However, its efficacy may vary based on individual characteristics, like gait speed. This study examined whether baseline gait speed modified the effects of home-based exercise on subsequent falls among older adults. Methods This is a secondary analysis of a 12-month, randomized controlled trial in community-dwelling adults who were ≥70 years old and who had fallen within the previous 12 months. Participants were randomized to either 12 months of home-based exercise (n = 172) or standard of care (n = 172). This study examined intervention effects on fall rates at 6 and 12 months stratified by baseline gait speed (slow [ |
