Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Fall Prevention InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Intervention involves 3 primary components: virtual group sessions, at-home exercises, and weekly phone check-ins. Virtual Group Session will be held via phone/video call for approximately 30 minutes per week for 10 weeks. At-Home Exercises will be assigned by a registered occupational therapist member of the study team, and participants will be instructed to complete them independently at home 3 times per week. Participants will record the exercises that they complete. Weekly Phone Check-Ins will occur once per week. These check-ins will be used to provide support and problem solving as needed, and individualized reminder systems will be set up to prompt the participant to engage in their weekly exercises (e.g., set up alarm on phone, notifications through calendar app).
Group II: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
