Efficacy of an Animated Video-Guided Exercise Intervention in Older Adults

Efficacy of an Animated Video Guided Exercise Intervention on Fear of Falling, Kinesiophobia, and Exercise Sensitivity in Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Impaired mobility in older adults significantly exacerbates the risk of falls and subsequent injuries.
