Online Balance Training to Prevent Falls in Older Adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing balance exercises at home with video coaching can help prevent falls in older adults. You'll practice exercises that challenge your balance and coordination, either at home online or in-person, to help you stay steady on your feet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You live independently in the community (not in a facility)
- You had at least one fall in the past year
- Your balance score is below a certain level, meaning you are at higher risk for falls
- You can walk on your own without a walker, cane, or other assistive device
- You can read and understand English, and have internet access at home (if in the online group)
