Comparing two balance therapy methods for older adults
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a high-tech treadmill (Walker View) or group therapy works better for improving balance and preventing falls in older adults. It also uses artificial intelligence to predict fall risk early.
