Developed by Brookside Research & Development with support from the National Institute on Aging, FallsTalk and FallScape are innovative program that address the difficulty of changing well-entrenched behaviors. Designed for use with older adults who have fallen or are experiencing regular loss of balance, these personalized fall prevention programs are delivered in two to four one-on-one sessions. Easy-to-use software includes evidenced-based fall risk screening and standardized FallsTalk interviews that create customized intervention components, workbooks and reports. FallScape incorporates interactive multimedia training and evaluation. After completing the program, participants showed increased falls prevention behaviors, improved their recognition of personal fall threats and successfully prevented falls.
