Back on My Feet: Emotional Recovery From Fall Injury

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Subsyndromal Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Fear of Falling

In brief

We will compare two programs that are designed to help older adults who have had fall injuries manage anxiety and improve their level of functioning. We expect that both programs will provide some benefit, but that one will promote better management.
