Testing a simple reach test change that matters in seniors
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial looks at how much change on a simple balance “reach” test is meaningful for people over 65 with balance problems. It aims to set a clear target for what improvement (or worsening) on the test should be considered important.
