The Aim of the research: To investigate an innovative program that aims to improve balance confidence in daily tasks and promote overall wellbeing.

What’s involved: • The trial is completed entirely from home with no need to travel. • The trial period runs for 8 weeks (starting at a suitable time for you). • You will be asked to complete an online fall risk assessment via video call. • Following the assessment, you will be randomly allocated into one of 3 groups:

• Group 1: You will be asked to follow your usual activities
• Group 2: You will be asked to follow a home-based cognitive behavioural program from home for 8 weeks. At 8 weeks, tailored physical activity guidance will be provided for future physical activity.
• Group 3: You will be asked to follow a home-based cognitive behavioural program and the StandingTall balance program from home for 8 weeks. At 8 weeks, tailored physical activity guidance will be provided for future physical activity. • You will be asked to complete a questionnaire once a month for 12 months. • You will be asked to wear an activity monitor (measures physical activity) at 4 different points throughout the 12 months.

Key Eligibility: 65+ years of age • Living in Sydney or the Central Coast, NSW • Participants will have a concern about falls or low confidence in their balance • No progressive neurological conditions (eg. Parkinson’s) • Not participating in a fall prevention program (>30min of balance or >2 hours strengthening in a week)

Benefits: Contribute to the latest balance research. Potential to learn about new programs aimed at improving balance and confidence in daily activties.
