Falls within the elderly population are an epidemic, yet evidence suggests that falls can be significantly reduced utilizing proven exercise methods. Barriers preventing dissemination of evidence-based interventions, educating healthcare professionals on best practice, and following through in the clinical field can be avoided with a structured program that focuses on the use of proven fall prevention methods. In aligning with our professional goals in the American Occupational Therapy Associations (AOTA), Vision 2025, this curriculum module focuses on bridging this gap by educating new clinicians to be effective practitioners providing evidence-based and client-centered interventions.
