What this trial studies

This is a prospective observational study embedded in routine primary care physiotherapy. It will describe changes in Short Physical Performance Battery scores and fall-risk indicators from baseline (T0) to program completion (T1, about 8–12 weeks) in adults aged 70 and older. Participants receive standard care consisting of 12 supervised multicomponent exercise sessions with individualized progression and home exercise guidance; no new treatment is assigned for research. Data collected include baseline and end-of-program measures, attendance, and any care-related adverse events. Primary objective is to characterize functional change; secondary objectives include describing the population, the relationship between attendance and outcomes, and adverse events.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians understand how routine frailty and falls prevention programs affect function and fall risk in older adults.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work in similar routine care programs has described functional changes in older adults, supporting the feasibility of observational assessments in real-world settings.
