Fall prevention rehab for older adults with arthritis and sarcopenia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a structured rehab program to prevent falls in older adults who have hip or knee arthritis and sarcopenia (loss of muscle strength and mass). It aims to help improve strength and balance to reduce fall risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older

- You have been diagnosed with sarcopenia (low muscle strength and low muscle mass)

This study uses ultrasound and physical tests to evaluate fall risk in people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to find better ways to predict falls and guide treatment.
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 a personalized video-based exercise program to help older adults who are frail or pre-frail prevent falls. It may be a good fit if you are relatively healthy aside from frailty concerns.
This study tests a health program with targeted exercise to help older Veterans who have obesity and muscle loss reduce their risk of falling and become more active.
This study looks at whether certain medicines might make muscle loss and falls worse in older adults. If you are 65 or older, have been diagnosed with sarcopenia, and have fallen recently, this trial may help find out if your medications could be improved.
This study tests whether a muscle-strengthening program can reduce problems with movement and daily functioning after falls in people over 70. You may be asked to do strength exercises and also be screened for health issues that could make exercise unsafe.
