 BackgroundSignificance: Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in this group. Fall risks are even greater for those with HF due to decreased exercise capacity, loss of skeletal muscle medication side effects. Though RT is effective for improving skeletal muscle, it has only a modest effect on improving balance, which is comprised of peripheral sensory input central integration, motor output. A multi-component intervention focusing on balance retraining strengthening the muscles supporting staticdynamic balance functional mobility is necessary.
