Introduction Fall is a common clinical problem affecting nearly one third of the community-dwelling older adults and more than half of institutionalized older persons in the United States The risk of falling increases with age. (Tremblay & Barber, 2005)

Introduction Cont. Falls represents a considerable problem in elderly both in hospital and the community.

Statistics. According to CDC in million falls occurred amongst older adults.

Statistics of fall age 65 and above

Evidence-based practice Every year 1 in 3 older adult falls, falls causes severe disability among survivors” Failure to exercise regularly results in poor muscle tone, decreased strength, and loss of bone mass and flexibility

Evidence-based model Evidence-based Practice (EBP) is a pattern and life long problem-solving concept to clinical decisions about patient care (Melynk & Fineout-Overholt, 2010 ) The ACE star model is an Evidence-based practice model that furnished a comprehensive structure on how to formulate EBP processes and concepts.

Evidence- base model cont. The five-point star demonstrates what is known as knowledge transformation. Discovery Summary Translation Integration Evaluation

Pico Question In community-dwelling adults 65 or older what are the evidences that effective physical exercises that increase muscle tone, bone density and strength can help prevent falls as compare to little or no exercise.
