Plazopod vs electrical stimulation for fall risk in dialysis
Part of Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares a wearable device called Plazopod to electrical stimulation to see which helps reduce fall risk in people on hemodialysis. It aims to improve balance and prevent falls.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Male aged 40 to 50 years
- Diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease and on dialysis for at least 6 months
- Medically stable with doctor's approval to exercise or receive electrical stimulation
- Can walk on your own or with a little help
- Able to understand study instructions
- Not currently in another exercise program

This study tests a new wearable device that uses gentle vibrations to help improve balance and prevent falls in older adults. If you qualify, you'll use the device during daily activities to see if it reduces fall risk.
This study tests whether a special electrical stimulation treatment to the soles of the feet during dialysis can improve balance and walking in people with diabetes who have nerve damage in the feet. If it works, it may help reduce fall risk and improve mobility.
This trial tests whether NMES (a small electrical stimulation you feel on the skin) can improve balance and lower fall risk in people with stroke-related weakness. It may help you walk more steadily and safely, while the study measures balance and fall-related outcomes.
This study compares two ways to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their walking: using a robotic device to guide your legs, or electrical stimulation (mild electrical pulses to leg muscles). The goal is to see which approach helps you walk better and more confidently.
This study tests whether a guided digital exercise program done at home can lower fall risk and improve safety for people age 65 and older. You’d likely use a device/app and follow a plan for light-to-moderate activity.
This trial tests if adding a non-invasive magnetic stimulation treatment to balance exercises can reduce fall risk in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet and legs.
