Impact of the backward chaining method on physical and psychological outcome measures in older adults at risk of falling: a systematic review.

Background: Being unable to "get up from the floor" is a risk factor and predictor of serious fall-related injuries in older age; however, floor-rise training (FRT) is not widely used. The backward chaining method (BCM) is a success-oriented, step-by-step form of FRT. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the impact of BCM on physical and psychological outcome measures, and its clinical application.
