Journal Article
Gumber, L., Timmons, S., Coupland, C., Gladman, J., Lliffe, S., Kendrick, D., Lafond, N., Logan, P., Masud, T., Skelton, D., Timblin, C., & Orton, E. (2022). ‘It is designed for everybody to find their own level and to improve themselves’; views of older people and instructors of the Falls Management Exercise (FaME) programme. Age and Ageing, 51(2), Article afac023. https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afac023

Background: Older adults are at increased risk of falls due to ageing, decreased muscle strength and impaired balance. Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and effectiveness of the Falls Management Exercise (FaME) programme in improving fun...

Keeping adults physically active after falls management exercise (FaME) programmes end: Development of a physical activity maintenance intervention (2021)
Journal Article
Sarah, A., Kendrick, D., Logan, P., & Orton, E. (2021). Keeping adults physically active after falls management exercise (FaME) programmes end: Development of a physical activity maintenance intervention. Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 7, Article 108. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-021-00844-w

Background: Falls prevention exercise programmes help to improve muscle strength, balance, physical function and reduce falling rates in older adults. Improvements in muscle strength, balance and physical function are reversed if older adults do not...

Background
Falls incidence increases with age alongside declines in strength and balance. Clinical trials show that the Falls Management Exercise (FaME) programme improves strength and balance, which can reduce falls and improve physical functioning...

A randomised feasibility study assessing an intervention to keep adults physically active after falls management exercise programmes end (2020)
Journal Article
Audsley, S., Kendrick, D., Logan, P., Jones, M., & Orton, E. (2020). A randomised feasibility study assessing an intervention to keep adults physically active after falls management exercise programmes end. Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 6, Article 37. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-020-00570-9

Background: Physical inactivity contributes to disability and falls in older adults. Falls prevention exercise (FaME) programmes improve physical activity, physical function and reduce falling rates. Improvements in physical function reduce, and fall...
