Smartwatch-guided home exercise for older adults who have fallen
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether using a smartwatch can help older adults who have fallen improve their walking and balance through a home exercise program. The goal is to see if digital assistance makes self-rehabilitation more effective than standard care alone.
