Efficacy of an Animated Video Guided Exercise Intervention on Fear of Falling, Kinesiophobia, and Exercise Sensitivity in Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Impaired mobility in older adults significantly exacerbates the risk of falls and subsequent injuries. Beyond physical sequelae, fall precipitate psychological burdens, notably the fear of falling and kinesiophobia. This study investigated the efficacy of animation-guided video exercise training on falls, fear of falling, kinesiophobia, and exercise sensitivity in geriatric individuals.

Experimental: study goup
animation-guided video exercise training
Other: an animation-guided- exercise training program

Participants received an animation-guided exercise program developed by the researchers that addressed falls, fall risk factors, preventive exercises, and safety precautions.

Participants in the control group received face-to-face verbal information regarding falls and were instructed to perform a home-based balance exercise program.
