CRD SUMMARY:

The adherence, by older adults, to home exercise programmes for the prevention of falls, was low and might be affected by specific intervention characteristics. There was no evidence to link adherence with intervention efficacy. Despite high variation and limitations in the included trials and the analyses, these cautious conclusions broadly reflect the evidence and are likely to be reliable.
