Research methods and participants. Participants were recruited from “SBĮ Kauno rajono socialinių paslaugų centras” and took part in the study during the period of 09/04/2018 to 27/06/2018. Participants signed an informed consent and were involved in the study that was approved by local bioethics centre (No. BEC-SR(M)-94). Twenty-eight participants (68.86 year old, SD = 3) were divided into two-equal groups of 14 participants, respectively. First group was called as repetition based (PGT) and the second group as differential learning based (DMGT). For both groups the training was held twice a week and lasted 60 minutes. In total 24 workouts were applied to all participants. Strength exercises were used during every PGT group’s workout, while strength exercises combined with balance exercises were applied in every third session. Exercises for balance, strength, coordination and flexibility were applied during every DMGT workout. A special workout program was developed for DMGT group. It consisted of exercises with high level of variability and none of the exercises were used twice in the following workout. This was done with the purpose to maximize the effect of differential learning. At the end of every DMGT group workout, 10 minutes of meditation were performed using the mobile application „atsipūsk“ as a source of m-Health. A non-parametric Wilcoxon test was used to compare two dependent samples and for two in-dependent samples we used Mann–Whitney’s test. Data is presented as mean ± standard deviation if not mentioned differently. We set the significance level at p

Work problem: a growing number of older persons increases the frequency of the falls. Work aim: to assess the effect of ordinary and differential training based physiotherapy on risk of falls in older adults. Work tasks: 1. To asses the risk of falls before and after the ordinary physiotherapy in older adults. 2. To asses the risk of falls before and after the differential learning based physiotherapy in older adults. 3. To compare the obtained assessment results of indicators changes after applying ordinary physiotherapy and differential training based physiotherapy in older adults. Conclusions: 1. Before applying the ordinary physiotherapy increased risk of falls was established for all participants, while after applying physiotherapy for all participants was established low risk of falls, although no statistically significant change was found. 2. Before applying differential training based physiotherapy increased risk of falls was established for all participants, while after physiotherapy the speed of walk and balance for participants improved significantly ( p < 0,05), low risk of falls was established. 3. Physiotherapy, based on differential training, is more effective in improving walk and balance indicators compared with the original physical therapy. For all participants after applying physiotherapy the indicators of fall risk has improved, however, a higher share of walk and balance indicators improved significantly (p < 0,05) for participants, who received differential training based physiotherapy.
