Description
Ladda Thiamwong and five co-authors describe a fall prevention program called PEER for low-income older adults. Their twenty twenty-four trial used a balance tool that gives quick feedback on how steady a person stands. It also helped people rethink their own fall risk. Peer leaders then led balance and strength exercise for eight weeks in Central Florida homes.
The trial compared forty-five people in PEER with fifty-two in a control group. More PEER members moved toward a sound view of their fall risk. Fewer moved toward a poor view than in the control group. The team says low-cost tech may help close health gaps.
