The Otago Exercise Program, which consists of strength and balance training delivered by a physiotherapist, can reduce falls in this population. We will test two methods to deliver the Otago program. These will include a new coaching approach by a physiotherapist with the use of a Fitbit to provide feedback versus the traditional delivery. The degree to which the program is delivered as intended by physiotherapists as well as the number of falls, risk of falling, and participation in walking activities in older adults will be assessed over 24 months. Lastly, we will assess if the coaching approach is a cost-effective option.","overall_status":"Active Not Recruiting","phases":[],"study_type":"INTERVENTIONAL","sponsor":"University of British Columbia","enrollment":35,"countries":["Canada"],"start_date":"2021-09-01","completion_date":"2026-06-01","last_update_date":"2026-01-29","source_url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04851405","editorial_summary":"A registered study indexed because it matched monitored longevity research terms.
