[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] RANDOMIZED ACTIVESTEP COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS TRIAL [Institution] DARTMOUTH COLLEGE [Amount] $0 [Summary] Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in the elderly. Each year an estimated 1/3 of older adults fall and by the year 2020, the total cost of fall related injuries is estimated to be approximately $54.9 billion. The proposed randomized comparative effectiveness trial will evaluate a newly approved fall prevention program (ActiveStep(R) training system) compared to a traditional physical therapy program for reducing the incidence and severity of falls in a geriatric population.
