They must be able to communicate in English and not be on certain dementia medications.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if the Otago Exercise Program (a home-based exercise routine) is better than usual care at reducing the risk of falls among older adults with mild cognitive impairment after they've suffered a hip fracture.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves an exercise program, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and increased risk of falling during exercises. Usual care typically has minimal side effects.
