Failed attempts at floor recovery can still be productive learning experiences. Fall preparedness should combine component capacity exercises with practice of the complete real-world task. Floor recovery practice should allow problem-solving while maintaining safety. Many older adults rarely get on the ground, which is problematic because fall risk increases with age. Fall-risk programs should include practice getting up from the ground, not only capacity training.
