Vibration training to help balance recover after a stumble
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether vibration exercises can help older adults regain balance more effectively after losing it. If you’re at risk of falls or balance problems, the trial may offer a structured way to improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You can understand and follow the study instructions
- You do NOT have major conditions that strongly affect movement or balance (like stroke, Parkinson’s disease, severe arthritis, lower-leg amputation, serious spinal problems)
- You do NOT have a serious inner-ear balance problem (or very high dizziness scores)
- You do NOT have major memory/cognition issues or major vision problems that could affect balance

This study tests whether vibrations applied to the bottom of your feet can help improve walking and balance after stroke. You'll receive plantar vibration therapy (gentle vibrations under your feet) while performing walking and balance exercises to see if it helps your recovery.
This study tests whether a device that plays small, random sounds (called stochastic noise) can help people feel steadier and walk better. It is for healthy adults of two age groups — those 60 and older, and those 21–59.
This study tests a home-based balance and thinking exercise program delivered through a computer or tablet, designed to help people with balance issues from stroke, mild cognitive impairment, vestibular disorders, or long COVID. The goal is to reduce fall risk and improve steadiness.
This study compares two types of physical therapy to help stroke patients improve balance, sensation in their legs, and confidence walking. The goal is to see which approach works better for people recovering from stroke.
This trial tests whether a structured “vestibular perceptual learning” program can improve balance and your body’s balance signals. It may help people who have balance or dizziness challenges by measuring changes after training.
This study tests whether a virtual reality balance-training program improves how well people control their posture and respond to sudden balance challenges. You would do standing balance tests and training sessions with head and weight-shift movements.
