This presentation will draw on the experience and expertise in researching effective fall prevention interventions for older community-residing people. Prof. Lindy Clemson will present three programs she has been involved in developing and testing: “Environmental interventions: reducing hazards at home”, “Stepping On – a group based fall prevention program” and “The LiFE program – Integrating balance and lower limb strength training into daily living activities and routines”. She will conclude with outlining an implementation project that brings together current fall research to translate across a geographic area in urban Sydney: “iSOLVE – Working with general medical practices to identify and manage their patients who fall: a whole of primary care approach”.
