Episode 142: Home-Based Local Vibration for Falls Prevention – A Feasibility Study

In this episode of the ACA Podcast, host Dr Kim Lie Jom is joined by Dr Matthew Holmes to discuss a recent feasibility study exploring whether adults aged 65 and over can safely and effectively use a home-based local vibration protocol to improve balance. With falls posing a significant health risk for older adults and poor balance being a key contributing factor, the study examines local vibration as a potential low-cost, at-home alternative to traditional balance interventions such as exercise or whole-body vibration, which may be less accessible for some seniors.
