This study tests a balance training program that uses visual targets. It aims to see if this training helps improve balance, daily function, and reduce fear of falling in people who have had a fall recently.
This study is testing a new tool to measure balance in older adults who are still active and independent. It aims to help identify early balance problems before they lead to falls.
This study looks at how older adults keep their balance and walk when their head is moving. You may be asked to stand or walk while your head gently moves, so researchers can understand how your body reacts.
This trial looks at how blood pressure and heart rate change when standing up or exercising in healthy people and in older adults with high blood pressure. It aims to understand how the body's automatic (autonomic) nervous system controls these functions.
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 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.
