Falls Prevention at the EU Falls Festival 8th-9th of May in Amsterdam

Falls are one of the leading causes for older adults losing their independence. Leading researchers, clinicians and politicians from all over the world met in Amsterdam to share knowledge about strategies to prevent falls in older adults.

The message is clear. Even if falls prevention is a mulit-facetted topic, there is a single most effective intervention for falls prevention, and that is exercise.

The HUR partners ProCare and Dividat share this view and together demonstrated the latest research driven technology for strength training and cognitive-motor training to maintain and enhance gait performance.
