• In order to be effective, exercise programmes must:
• Challenge balance and improve strength through resistance training
and exercise in a standing position.
• Be tailored to the individual, i.e. pitched at the right level, taking falls
history and medical conditions into account.
• Be sufficiently progressive.
• Be carried out 2–3 times a week.
• Be continued over a duration of at least 50 hours.
• Be delivered by specially trained instructors.
