Volunteer participants are recruited in the Geneva area (Switzerland) through flyers, press releases and advertisements in local community newspapers. Individuals aged 65 or older, community-dwelling and identified at high risk for falling are randomly assigned, according to a computer-generated list, to either an immediate Jaques-Dalcroze eurhythmics program of weekly 1-hour classes for 6 months or a wait-list control group scheduled to receive the same intervention 6 months following the completion of the baseline assessment. Participants in the intervention group are followed for an additional 6 months in order to evaluate whether intervention gains can be maintained over time. Main outcome measures include gait (under single and dual-task conditions) and balance performances assessed by quantitative analysis (i.e., electronic walkway and angular velocity transducers) and functional tests administered at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Falls data are prospectively ascertained during the whole follow-up using a monthly calendar method with daily records. The principal analysis will be done on an intention to treat basis.
