Abstract

Falls have a very high prevalence in older adults (aged 65 and older) and are probable causes of decreased physical activities, function, and quality of life, as well as increased depression and nursing home placement. Home exercise is an effective way to reduce fall risk factors, but there is often low adherence. The use of smart home technology with health-promoting exercise can be a new method for occupational therapists to reduce fall risks through encouraging an active lifestyle.
