Fall prevention study for mild memory problems
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a virtual program to help people with mild memory problems reduce their risk of falling. You can join if you live at home, have had a fall or worry about falling, and have mild cognitive impairment (not dementia).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You live independently in the community (not in a nursing home)
- You are at risk for falls — either you've fallen in the past year, take more than 15 seconds on a simple stepping test, or you're worried about falling
- You have mild memory or thinking problems (a MOCA score between 10 and 25, or a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment)
- You can give your own written consent to participate
- You do not have dementia or a severe memory problem (MOCA below 10 or dementia diagnosis)
- You can take part in a virtual (online) program and do not have serious vision or hearing issues, recent stroke, or certain neurological conditions

This trial tests a virtual balance program that strengthens the muscles on the side of your hip to help prevent falls. If you are a veteran aged 65 or older who gets care at the VA Maryland Health Care System, this program might help you stay steady on your feet.
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 program to help older adults with mild memory problems and a recent fall improve their balance and prevent future falls. If you've had a fall in the past year and have some trouble with memory, this trial may offer safe exercises and guidance.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality plus occupational therapy can help older adults reduce their risk of falling and becoming frail. You'll use a VR headset during rehab sessions at the residence.
This study compares two types of physical therapy: one using virtual reality (like a video game) and the other using traditional exercises. It aims to see which helps improve balance, reduce frailty, and prevent falls in adults 40 and older who have had a fall or have balance trouble.
This study tests whether playing virtual reality games can improve balance, reduce fall risk, and boost exercise ability in people with Parkinson's disease. You will attend therapy sessions that use a VR headset designed to help with movement.
