Background:

Multidisciplinary fall prevention programs aim to reduce falls and functional decline in older adults.
Previous studies found no overall effect of a comprehensive multidisciplinary program.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the occupational therapy component's contribution to fall prevention.
To understand the implementation of occupational therapy recommendations and strategies for behavior change.

Main Methods:

Descriptive and exploratory study within a randomized controlled trial.
Collected data on occupational therapy recommendations, implementation rates, and therapist-driven behavior change interventions.
Included 166 participants, 2 occupational therapists, and municipal officials.

Main Results:

457 recommendations were made by occupational therapists.
65% of recommendations for services and assistive devices were implemented.
Home modifications took an average of six months; advice focused on reducing risky behavior.

Conclusions:

Faster implementation of occupational therapy recommendations is crucial.
Participant support is needed to achieve recommended changes.
Occupational therapists should employ theory-based techniques and follow-up for sustained behavior change.
