MOB is an evidence based, structured program that helps reduce fear of falling by learning to view falls as preventable and controllable. The program also helps participants increase their current physical activity and exercises, reduce fall risks at home and in the community. Additional topics covered in the course include home safety, assertiveness, developing positive strategies for change, reducing barriers to exercise, identifying physical risk factors for falls, personal action planners, recognizing misconceptions about falls, and moving from self-defeating to self-motivating thoughts. This evidence-based fall risk reduction educational program includes structured curriculum taught over 8 sessions (each session for 2 hours). The curriculum includes group discussions, mutual problem solving, role-play activities, exercise training, assertiveness training, and a few homework assignments. Two certified MOB Coaches cover the content and lead exercise sessions.
