Treadmill training to prevent falls in older adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a special treadmill training that gently pushes you off balance to help you learn to catch yourself and prevent falls. It is for older adults who are at high risk of falling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 70 years old or older.

- You can walk at least 70 meters without stopping.
- You can get to the study location (even by taxi).
- You do not have severe memory problems, a leg amputation, or a recent leg surgery.

This trial tests if a specific type of physical training can help older adults who are at risk of falling. It is designed for people aged 60-90 who have had a fall in the past year or are otherwise considered high risk.
This study tests a program that combines thinking and movement exercises to help older adults improve balance and prevent falls. It may help you stay steady on your feet and reduce your risk of falling.
This study tests a reactive balance training program to reduce fall risk. It may help you improve how your balance reacts when you are pushed or lose stability.
This study tests whether walking backwards on a treadmill can help reduce falls in older adults who are at high risk of falling. The goal is to improve balance and strength so you can stay steady on your feet.
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.
This study tests a fall-prevention program that is tailored to your specific balance and walking needs. It's for people aged 60–85 who have fallen at least once or feel unsteady, and it aims to help them reduce their risk of falling.
