At least once a year, about 1/3 of people over age 65 and 1/2 of people over age 80 fall. For people with Parkinson's disease, up to 70% fall at least once per year and they have a 5 times greater risk of experiencing an injurious fall.
Research shows that exercise-based programs implemented in the home are effective at preventing falls.
