Fall prevention program for older adults with osteoarthritis
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a structured rehabilitation program to help older adults with knee or hip osteoarthritis and muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve strength and prevent falls. If you qualify, you'll get supervised exercise therapy designed to reduce your fall risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years or older.
- You must have knee or hip osteoarthritis that is mild to moderate (grade 2 or 3).
- You must have sarcopenia, which means you have low muscle strength and reduced muscle mass.
- You must be able to take part in a structured exercise therapy program.
- You must not have unstable heart problems, recent heart attack, unstable fractures, or severe wounds that would make exercise unsafe.
