Arm-in-arm walking training for people who fell recently
This study tests whether a guided “arm-in-arm” walking program can help people walk more safely after a recent fall. You may be eligible if you’re within a specific age range and can walk steadily for 15 minutes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 70, or between 18 and 40
