Recipient and instructor perspectives of an adapted exercise-based fall prevention programme for adults aged 50+ years with vision impairment: a qualitative study nested within a randomised controlled trial.

prevention program, adapted specifically for people with vision impairment. Their work offers
insight into the most important tenets of adapting a fall intervention for patients with vision
impairment. The instructors were professionals with experience designing and implementing

consistently record the activity they performed between sessions.
