NCT ID NCT06745544
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special exercise program that combines rhythm and multitasking (called RYMA) can reduce falls, fractures, and heart problems in people aged 65 and older with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Participants will be screened for fall risk, bone health, nerve function, and heart health, then assigned to either the exercise program or usual care. The goal is to see if this approach can lower fall rates by at least 30% and improve overall health over five years.
