Abstract

Older adults fall and live with the fear of falling. Until recently vitamin D to strengthen bones, Tai Chi and other slow deliberate exercises have been prescribed. Recent studies introducing these adults to newer technological innovations such as the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft HoloLens and Oculus from Meta show enjoyment of using the equipment, improvement with balance, reduced fear of falling and stronger feelings of independence. This column reports the troubling statistics of older adults falling, introduces technological innovations and highlights studies using these tools.
