Strength training to prevent falls in older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a muscle-strengthening program can help prevent a condition linked to falls and reduced mobility in older adults. If you are 70+, have had a fall, and are generally in stable health, this trial might help you stay steady and independent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 70 years or older
- You must have had a fall in the past
- You must be able to understand the study and give written permission
- You should not have unstable heart, lung, or other medical conditions
- You should be able to do strengthening exercises without major joint or muscle problems
