Fear of Falling: A Matter of Balance
Exercise: It’s Never too Late
Videos
Funded by National Institutes on Aging Two short videotapes that encourage adaptive thinking about the benefits of remaining active. "Fear of Falling: A Matter of Balance" addresses the activity restriction that often accompanies concerns about falling. This video points out how inactivity can actually increase rather than decrease the risk of falling.
"Exercise: It's Never Too Late" promotes the physical and emotional benefits of regular physical activity. Both videos use the stories of real people and expert commentary to convey these messages. The videos were designed to be incorporated into interventions on the respective issues, but can also be used alone. Watch a Quicktime Preview:

Hope in Sight: Living with Macular Degeneration
Video
Funded by National Eye Institute Hope In Sight: Living With Macular Degeneration is the first medically accurate video ever produced on this extremely common eye disorder. In addition, the video images have been enhanced to make it easier to view for those with low vision. With a combination of 3-D graphics, commentary by a world expert, and documentary footage of three people who have successfully coped with macular degeneration, this video is both informative and inspirational.
The video is designed for the 1.7 million Americans who have macular degeneration and is particularly targeted for those who have recently been diagnosed, since this is a time when people often need both accurate information and reassurance that the disorder does not cause blindness and need not be the disability many people at first fear it will be.

Chronic Pain Management: A CME Program

This CME-accredited CD-ROM is an interactive educational program to enhance the skills of the primary-care physician, so that he or she can better diagnose and manage patients with chronic pain. Specifically, this program focuses on recognition of non-malignant chronic pain syndromes, the indications, contraindications and risks of opioids for treatment of chronic pain, the indications for the use of non-opioid medications in the treatment of chronic pain, and the psychological and social interventions necessary for the successful pharmacotherapy of chronic pain.
