Impact of telephone coaching supporting a physical maintenance exercise programme for older adults at risk of falls: a randomised controlled trial
The lack of difference between the groups in the time taken to complete the TUG at 6 months suggests that the monthly telephone coaching sessions did not improve the effectiveness of a home exercise programme in elderly people who had suffered at least one fall. The trial was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02828826; 11th of july 2016, last modification 16th of September 2024).
