Condition 1: Otago Exercise Program (OEP) adapted for delivery to small groups. In total, this protocol includes 5 flexibility movements, 5 leg-strengthening movements, and 12 balance-challenging movements. The number intensity and duration (dosages) are individualized according to preference and ability. OEP movements are gradually progressed across the 8-week intervention. A physical activity monitor (PAM) (Fitbit Charge 2) with initial orientation and ongoing support. Health and wellness information (attention control content) guided by content in the National Instituteon Aging (NIA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention websites.

Self-report Measure of Physical Activity. PASE is a validated questionnaire to measure the amount of physical activity in people over the age of 65 including types (e.g., walking, recreational, exercise, housework, care-giving). Scores, accounting for frequency, duration and intensity of physical activity are calculated and typically range from 0 to 793, with higher value representing more physical activity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months post intervention

Number of injuries from falls was measured via prospective falls calendars mailed to participants monthly with return addressed/stamped envelopes. Circumstances and injuries related to each fall were documented on the calendars. Calendar documentation each fall was verified and detailed through phone conversations between participants and trained research staff. Moderate and Major injuries from falls were categorized according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality with moderate injuries defined as necessitating sutures, skin glue, splinting, and or involving muscle or joint strain. Major injuries were defined as those associated with internal injuries or a need for surgery, casting, traction, or neurological consults.

Using the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health Questionnaire 1.2. Two constructs from this questionnaire were converted to t scores: self-reported physical health and self-reported mental health. . Mean t scores are 50, which indicates the adult population mean with a standard deviation of 10. Higher t scores are considered better, or healthier, for self-reported physical health and mental health. No clinically relevant thresholds were described in this study.

n=77 participants at risk
Condition 1: 1. Otago Exercise Program (OEP) adapted for delivery to small groups. In total, this protocol includes 5 flexibility movements, 5 leg-strengthening movements, and 12 balance-challenging movements. The number intensity and duration (dosages) are individualized according to preference and ability. OEP movements are gradually progressed across the 8-week intervention. 2. A physical activity monitor (PAM) (Fitbit Charge 2) with initial orientation and ongoing support. 3. Health and wellness information (attention control content) guided by content in the National Instituteon Aging (NIA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention websites.

In total, this protocol includes 5 flexibility movements, 5 leg-strengthening movements, and 12 balance-challenging movements. The number intensity and duration (dosages) are individualized according to preference and ability. OEP movements are gradually progressed across the 8-week intervention. 2. A physical activity monitor (PAM) (Fitbit Charge 2) with initial orientation and ongoing support. 3. Interpersonal behavior change strategies including peer-to-peer sharing and learning about using activities in everyday routines as prompts for movement, identifying and problem solving environmental barriers to physical activity, ways to increase social support for physical activity, and friendly social comparison of experiences performing OEP movements and home and other locations of choice, staying motivated to practice OEP movements long-term.

A physical activity monitor (PAM) (Fitbit Charge 2) with initial orientation and ongoing support. 3. Intrapersonal behavior change strategies including to develop physical activity related goals and action plans, self-assess goal attainment and action plan implementation-adjust accordingly, identify and problem solve personal barriers to physical activity, develop a habit of one or more OEP movements.
