Abstract
This update of the 2009 recommendations of the German Federal Initiative to Prevent Falls in community-dwelling older persons includes current evidence on state-of-the-art fall prevention group programs and aims to foster their set-up including recommendations on the implementation process. A standardized pathway for identification of the target group as well as guidelines regarding program content and structure, quality assurance, financing, and trainer education are addressed. Established programs being available in Germany are compiled and described briefly.Entities:
