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 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.
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 is better at reducing fall risk in people aged 65 and older. Participants will do either progressive resistance training (using weights) or functional training (practicing daily movements) for 8 weeks, three times a week.
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 trial studies a combined program of balance and strengthening exercises to improve balance in older adults who have balance problems or are at risk of falling. It may help improve stability and reduce fall risk.
