Physical therapy for muscle loss in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if physical therapy can help older adults with low muscle strength and mass (sarcopenia). It might improve your ability to do daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 75 years old.
- You have low muscle strength, like a weak grip.
- You have low muscle mass, as measured by a body scan.
- You do not have heart, kidney, or autoimmune disease.
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems.

This trial tests if a neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy helps people with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It may improve muscle strength and function.
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise helps improve nerve signals to muscles in older adults. It compares older participants (65+) with younger ones (18-39) to see how this type of exercise affects muscle activation.
This study tests if a combination of a medicine (nandrolone), physical therapy, and a special diet can help older adults with muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve their strength and muscle mass. It is for people age 60 to 99 who have been diagnosed with sarcopenia based on specific muscle strength and mass measurements.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
