Introduction One of the known risk factors for fall incidents is the use of specific medications, fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs). However, to date, there is uncertainty related to the effectiveness of deprescribing as a single intervention in fal

Performance of a cognitive task while standing disrupts balance in older adults. This disruption is exaggerated in those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Moreover, older adults with MCI who exhibit greater dual-task ‘cost’ are more likely to
