Brief description Falls are common in older people. Balance training can prevent falls, but poor compliance calls for new initiatives. This study will use simple mobile technology to deliver an innovative home-based exercise program to older people. It lays the groundwork for the widespread, national and international implementation of the StandingTall program. It provides scope for further broad scale implementation and a model for incorporating StandingTall into existing health services and routine care.
