Balance training to help prevent falls
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a reactive balance training program to reduce fall risk. It may help you improve how your balance reacts when you are pushed or lose stability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
