Predictors of Real-World Adherence to Prescribed Home Exercise in Older Patients With a Risk of Falling: A Prospective Observational Study The consensus is clear that home exercise programs play a significant role in decreasing fall rates and risk. Research indicates a more substantial impact on reducing falls in older adults at risk is achieved with higher doses of exercise, particularly 3 or more hours per week of balance-specific training.
