Quotes from the 'Evaluation Report of ‘Preventing Falls: Postural Stability Exercise for Older People’ Conference':

"This programme is used in several hospitals and falls clinics in England and as part of rehabilitation and continued support at home."

"In published study on the programme, Skelton, Dinan, Campbell and Rutherford, 2005, reported that frequent women fallers aged 65+ were half as likely to fall and even less likely to sustain an injurious fall, as those who did not perform regular group exercise"
