AnnotationThe strongest evidence for reducing falls in at-risk older people is combined balance and strength training and regular walking. This article reviews the literature to discuss factors associated with falls, the importance of postural control, and whether balance training is more effective on its own or when combined with muscle-strengthening exercises.
