Balance and mobility disorders resulting in falls among the elderly population pose a serious public health problem. Coupling this fact with the fact that adults over the age of 65 represent the fastest-growing segment of the population suggests an immediate need for activity programmes specifically designed to reduce physical frailty and the rising incidence of falls among the older adult population. FallProof! is the first comprehensive and structured balance and mobility training programme to address these needs.
