Occupational therapy student-led falls prevention clinic for community-dwelling elderly people in rural and remote areas: A pilot study (H9147)

Chief Investigator

Occupational Therapy Student-Led Falls Prevention Clinic for Community-Dwelling Older People in Rural and Remote Areas: A Pilot Study evaluates the feasibility and potential benefits of an occupational therapy student-led falls prevention clinic for older adults living independently in rural and remote communities. The study examines the delivery of falls risk assessments, identification of environmental and functional risk factors, and provision of tailored interventions to reduce falls risk and promote independence, safety, and healthy ageing. It also explores the value of supervised student-led clinics in providing accessible allied health services while supporting student learning and clinical skill development. Findings will inform the feasibility of implementing and evaluating similar service models in underserved rural and remote
