Otago

Note: This app is restricted to people who have enrolled with Arthritis Research Canada.

The Otago app helps older adults to follow the Otago Exercise Program on a regular basis, which has been shown to reduce the chance of falling. Physiotherapists can use the app to help deliver the program, by selecting the recommended exercises to appear within the patient's app. The patient can use their tablet or phone to guide them through each exercise by viewing written instructions and diagrams. To help with adherence to the program, the physiotherapist will guide their patient through Brief Action Planning, which will create a realistic action plan that can be referenced by both parties.
