Remote Brain-and-Body training aims to prevent falls in frail elderly
NCT ID NCT07292428
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether remote rehabilitation can help frail older adults improve their ability to walk and think at the same time. Researchers will enroll 80 people aged 65 to 90 who have chronic movement or thinking problems. Participants will receive dual-task training via telemedicine, and the study will measure changes in balance and muscle strength.
