Quick takeaway

This early India RCT supports structured exercise programs for maintaining balance and function in older adults. It is older than some other studies, but still highly usable from a care-delivery standpoint.

Why this matters

Included because it is a straightforward, scalable fall-prevention intervention trial.

Key caution

The trial adds stronger causal evidence, but sample size, setting, and follow-up still matter before generalizing widely.
