2009 research reports
- This trial was completed in four residential care homes in Auckland. It refined and tested an exercise programme to prevent falls, and established feasibility for a large trial (a 2x2 factorial randomised controlled trial) in the future. This trial would test the question ‘Does a programme with multiple components reduce falls in New Zealand rest homes or is an exercise programme alone sufficient to reduce falls?’
