Balance and mobility impairments in older people have been shown to be a strong independent risk factor for falling,12 and have been shown to decline at a significantly faster rate in PLWD than age-matched older people without cognitive impairment.13 To combat postural instability and decreases in function, a large number of studies have been conducted, investigating the effectiveness of exercise or physical activity programs to prevent falls for older people with a history of falling.4,14 Reviews of these studies have shown that strength- and balance-focused exercise programs have been successful in decreasing the rate of falls for older people living in the community with no cognitive impairment, using both group- and home-based environments for exercise. Based on these results, exercise or physical activity programs are viewed as an important part of falls prevention programs.3,4,15 However, direct translation of falls prevention programs that have been shown to be effective in reducing falls in samples with no cognitive impairment (eg, Close et al16 multifactorial intervention) may not be effective when implemented with people with cognitive impairment.
