Balance and walking with head movement in older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how older adults keep their balance and walk when their head is moving. You may be asked to stand or walk while your head gently moves, so researchers can understand how your body reacts.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is testing a new tool to measure balance in older adults who are still active and independent. It aims to help identify early balance problems before they lead to falls.
This study tests whether paying attention to your movements in a certain way can improve control during everyday tasks like walking. It may help older adults who want to keep steady on their feet and avoid falls.
This study looks at how older adults walk and balance when doing two tasks at once (like talking while walking). Researchers want to understand how mild memory concerns affect movement, which could help catch early brain changes.
This research study examines how older adults maintain balance and walk. Researchers want to understand what helps people stay steady on their feet as they age, which could lead to better ways to prevent falls.
This study tests a wearable sensor to measure how your body controls balance during walking and simple movements. It may help doctors better understand balance problems in older adults with dizziness or vestibular conditions, potentially improving future treatments.
This study tests a smart digital tool that combines balance and thinking exercises to help older adults stay steady and prevent falls. If you are 55+ and can walk a short distance, you may be able to join.
