Fall risk in older adults after heart rehab
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special cardiac rehab program can help older adults who recently had a heart event improve their balance and reduce their risk of falling. It's designed for people age 65 and older who are now stable enough to begin rehab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 66 years or older.
- You recently had heart surgery, a heart attack treated with a stent, or an episode of heart failure.
- You are not currently unstable, meaning no severe dizziness, very low or high blood pressure, very slow or fast heart rate, shortness of breath at rest, or signs of infection.

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 compares two types of exercise programs to see which one better helps older adults at risk of falling. If you join, you will attend exercise sessions three times a week for 8 weeks.
This research study tests whether adding strength and balance exercises to your regular cardiac rehab class can help older adults feel stronger and more steady on their feet. It is for people who are already taking part in a maintenance cardiac rehab program in Scotland.
