Primary outcomePrimary: Participant Adherence to Intervention — 5 Participants
Summary
Purpose: To report the feasibility and to obtain preliminary data on the effects of using an enhanced Otago Exercise Programme to reduce fall risk in individuals with osteoarthritis (OA).
Participants: Ten participants from the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project who have OA, are at risk for falls, and are 65+ years old.
Procedures (methods): All participants will receive the 6-month enhanced Otago program. The investigators will assemble data: quantifying participant adherence to and safety of the intervention, ascertaining retention of participants for 6 months, determining acceptability of the program, and other validated measures (e.g., number of falls and fall severity, balance measures).
