Balance exercises with and without clamshell moves after menopause
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding 'clamshell' exercises (a simple hip-strengthening move) to balance training helps older women improve their balance after menopause. If you're worried about balance, this could be a way to reduce your risk of falling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You have significant concerns about your balance.
- You live independently in the community.
- Your balance score on a standard test (Berg Balance Scale) must be above 41 out of 56, meaning you have only a minimal risk of falling.
