FICSIT (Frailty and Injuries: Cooperative Studies of Intervention Techniques)

FICSIT (Frailty and Injuries: Cooperative Studies of Intervention Techniques) is a research program focused on understanding and reducing the risks of falls and injuries among older adults. It aims to develop and test strategies, therapies, and assessments to improve strength, balance, and mobility. By studying how aging affects physical health, FICSIT seeks to create effective interventions that help seniors stay independent and safe. Essentially, it’s a scientific effort to find ways to prevent injuries and support healthy aging through evidence-based practices.
