Actions to control the fear of falling in older people: An umbrella review
The results of this umbrella review indicate that holistic exercises (Tai Chi, Yoga, Pilates) are the most effective in mitigating fear of falling in older adults. Interventions that incorporate multimodal approaches also appear to be beneficial. The combination of physical and cognitive actions is widely recognized as effective and long-lasting. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess the effectiveness of actions over time.
