Quick takeaway

A randomized trial in an old-age home found both exercise approaches improved balance and fear-of-falling measures, with Otago showing larger gains. It is one of the most directly actionable fall-prevention trials in the shortlist.

Why this matters

Strong fit for a practical prevention portal because it points to a concrete, named program.

Key caution

The sample was small and limited to an institutional setting.
