Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

One of the main consequences of falling is the fear to fall again. This involves changes in the elderly behaviour which leads to a reduction of the physical activity, higher need of cares, reduction of the quality of life and risk of social isolation. In this framework, this works is aimed at performing a treatment to reduce the fear to fall in those geriatrics patients with previous falls, based on the combination of physical activity, health education and cognitive-behavioural psychological treatment targeted to this effect. The reason is that literature points at combined treatment use to present higher effectiveness
