Efficacy of an Animated Video-Guided Exercise Intervention in Older Adults

Impaired mobility in older adults significantly exacerbates the risk of falls and subsequent injuries. Beyond physical sequelae, fall precipitate psychological burdens, notably the fear of falling and kinesiophobia. This study investigated the efficacy of animation-guided video exercise training on falls, fear of falling, kinesiophobia, and exercise sensitivity in geriatric individuals.
