Impact of a two-phase robotic-assisted and home-based training program on falls and fall risk in older adults: a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Falls in older adults represent a significant health risk, and technology-supported interventions have emerged as a potential training solution to reduce fall risk. However, the effectiveness and applicability of such interventions require further evaluation. This study aimed to assess the impact of a novel technology-supported fall prevention program on fall incidence, fall risk, acceptability, and feasibility in community-dwelling older adults.

Methods

In this multicenter randomized controlled trial, 292 older adults (aged ≥ 65 years) were randomly assigned at T₀ (baseline) to either an intervention (INT) group or a control (CTR) group. The INT group completed 48 training sessions, commencing with the hunova robot and subsequently engaging in a home-b
