About

The ENTAiER fall prevention study investigates the efficacy and safety of eurythmy therapy and tai chi in older people with chronic diseases and an increased risk of falls. In the course of the ENTAiER study, the participants observed changes in themselves and in their everyday life and described them in conversation, which could not be recorded with the research methods used. A qualitative exploration of these subjectively experienced changes among participants of the ENTAiER study will be conducted as part of a sub-study. For this purpose, group interviews will be conducted.
