Aging and Rehabilitation: Falls in Older Adults
 

Dizziness is among the most prevalent complaints for which people seek medical help and increases with advancing age. We are starting a new randomized controlled trial to develop effective exercise intervention to reduce dizziness and fall risk in older adults with non-specific dizziness (i.e., with no vestibular pathology). The objectives of this study are to determine if an intervention of vestibular exercises can improve gaze and postural stability and reduce fall risk.
