Exercise program to reduce falls in psychiatric hospital care
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program helps people in psychiatric hospital care improve their physical function and reduce the risk of falls. If you join, you will take part in supervised exercises during your stay, which may help you feel stronger and safer.
