Exercise program for older adults to improve strength and balance
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a community exercise program for older adults to see if it improves physical function and reduces frailty. It may help you feel stronger, more stable, and more confident in daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years old or older.
- You must live on your own at home (not in a nursing home).
- You should be fairly independent with daily activities, but you may have some physical limitations.
- You need to show some signs of being at risk — like walking slowly, feeling unsteady, or having low muscle strength.
- You must have had at least one fall in the past year, or have other indicators of fall risk (like slow walking speed).
- You must not have any serious or unstable medical conditions (like uncontrolled heart disease or terminal illness).
