“…Moreover, we included evidence that exercise in hospital subacute wards was effective (Cameron et al 2012 [30]) although the data were very limited. We disagree with Stubbs et al regarding Silva et al 2013 [51] as an example of recent evidence supporting the effectiveness of exercise.…”

“…This approach has been adopted in the geriatrics research with much promise [48][49][50]. There is increasing evidence that multifactorial interventions that address both physiological and behavioral risk factors have the greatest promise to reduce fall incidence in community-dwelling older adults [51] as well as institutionalized older adults [52]. It remains to be seen if multifactorial fall prevention interventions will be successful in persons with MS.…”

“…Increased mechanical loading from exercise can improve bone fragility according to Wolff's law, which is expected to prevent non-fall-related vertebral fracture. In contrast, however, the exercise-related improvement of skeletal fragility could not efficiently act to prevent fall-related non-vertebral fractures such as in the hip because bones adapt to mechanical environment associated with physical activity, as indicated for example by trabecular pattern in the hip (Singh index), but not to falls that result in the different direction of force.On the other hand, a number of studies have confirmed that exercise plays significant roles in preventing falls [7][8][9][10][11]; in the EFOPS trial, approximately half of low-trauma fractures resulted from falls [1]. The latest meta-analysis of the associations between measures of balance and lower-extremity muscle strength/power suggests that these components are independent of each other [12] and indeed combined resistance and balance-jumping exercise for 5 years effectively reduced injurious falls compared to resistance or balance-jumping exercise alone in older women [13].…”
