Zapping the brain to stop falls? new study tests Non-Invasive treatment for unsteady walking
NCT ID NCT06008431
Summary
This study tested whether gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation could improve walking steadiness in older adults at risk of falling. Researchers enrolled 27 participants aged 65+ with unsteady walking patterns. They compared real brain stimulation to a sham (fake) treatment to see if it could reduce walking variability and potentially lower fall risk.
