Co-creation of a motor-cognitive exercise programme-a qualitative study with older people and physiotherapists.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To reduce the risk of falls, tailored interventions including exercise that simultaneously challenges cognition (motor-cognitive) are recommended. However, considerable variation in motor-cognitive approaches exist, and its use in clinical practice is less widespread.
