Thanks Kim Delbaere for asking us to join the call to action. Falls are life changing and needs a systems approach to make significant change #fallsnetwork #anzfps #crefallsinjuryprevention

Should it be called 'fear of falling' or 'concerns about falling'? Do fears/concerns increase risk of falls, or can they be protective? How should we best measure them? Here, we (the World Falls Guidelines team) try to answer these questions and more. academic.oup.com/ageing/article…

SAVE THE DATE: Announcement of the location of the next world falls prevention society conference ANZ Falls Prevention EUFallsFestival 24-26 June 2026 in Manchester, UK.

Kim Delbaere presents on our StandingTall Implementation study. @Prof_Chris_Todd NIHR ARC Greater Manchester Morag Taylor

Great presentation by Toby Ellmers at EUFallsFestival confirming that concern about falling predicts future falls in older adults - important confirmation of the recommendations in the world fall guidelines.

Kim Delbaere presenting important #implementation work on digital technology for #fallprevention with the Standing Tall app at #ISPRM24. Strong usability and safety but real world challenges.

Extraordinary talk by (very soon to be) Dr Rik Dawson on his top up trial - at ISPRM Telephysio services are feasible and acceptable in aged care services. Congratulations Rik Dawson on achieving this milestone! Prof Cathie Sherrington

Kim Delbaere outlines impressive work implementing the Standing Tall app in higher risk people during a pandemic at #ISPRM24. A key option for #fallprevention.

A new study by NeuRA researchers has found that e-health fall prevention exercise programs can improve #balance, prevent #falls, and reduce fall-related injuries if successfully integrated into clinical practice. Published in Age and Ageing, Professor Kim Delbaere, Senior

New paper with Morag Taylor on "The Impact of Misaligned Perceived and Objective Fall Risk in Cognitively Impaired Older People": Nearly a third of cognitively impaired older adults misjudged their fall risk, leading to higher fall rates in certain groups doi.org/10.3233/jad-24…

And one with Kim Delbaere: "The relationship between pain, quality of life and physical activity in older community-living Australians": physical activity mediates the relationship between pain and quality of life, negatively impacting overall well-being doi.org/10.1016/j.geri…

#AAHMSFellow Kim Delbaere Senior Principal Research Fellow NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia), has made major contributions to identifying risk factors for falls and sub-optimal ageing. Her vision is for older Australians to understand & navigate better health trajectories through self-management.

IPTOP are delighted to announce the next instalment of our webinar series. Kim Delbaere will be presenting on the 'Standing Tall' program on 20/21st November All information and the booking link is on the IPTOP website iptop-physio.org/education/webi…

NeuRA is proud to announce that two researchers from NeuRA and UNSW have been awarded $5.9 million in funding from the Medical Research Future Fund’s (#MRFF) #Dementia, #Ageing and Aged Care Grants to improve care for diverse, disadvantaged and vulnerable older Australians.

Last week, we welcomed actor Michael Caton and Bob Barnes from the Rotary Club of Lismore to NeuRA. During their visit, they caught up with Prof Kim Delbaere and Alicia Brown from our Falls, Balance, and Injury Research Centre to learn more about our work in #falls prevention.

Come and join us in person or online if you are in Asia Pacific timezones. Further events coming later for other timezones.

Filming for a documentary on need for a national anti-falls strategy to be released soon. Biggest problem in health of over-65s. Costs budget over 3 billion. Warrants national campaign like anti-smoking and skin cancer prevention.

Big Thanks to Bob Carr for lending his voice to our call to action for a national falls prevention campaign. NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia) Prof Cathie Sherrington ANZ Falls Prevention Prof Anne Tiedemann
