Falls and fall-related injuries in older adults are associated with great burdens, both for the individuals, health care system society. Previous research has shown evidence efficiency of exercise as falls prevention.

Falls among older adults represent a major health hazard across the world. In 2022, World Guidelines was published, summarising research evidence and expert recommendations on how to prevent falls, but we need more knowledge can be successfully implemented into routine practice. this study used an implementation strategy co-created by healthcare providers, who had fallen researchers, facilitate uptake of fall prevention recommendations.
