Ball exercises to prevent frailty in older adults
This trial tests whether simple ball exercises can help prevent frailty in older adults who are starting to show early weakness. If you join, you'll do guided exercises to keep your strength and balance, which may help you stay independent longer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 65 and 75 years old
- You are pre-frail (early signs of weakness or low energy, but not severe disability)
- You can get up from a chair without help
- You can reach one arm over your shoulder and touch the opposite shoulder blade (like a scratch test)
- You can bend forward without significant pain
- You have not been in the hospital in the last 3 months, no chest pain, and no serious heart or lung conditions
