Summary

This trial tests whether a digitally assisted self-rehabilitation program, delivered through the Stand'hop app, can improve walking performance in adults aged 65 and older who have recently experienced a fall. Participants will either receive the app-based program alongside standard rehabilitation care or standard care alone. The study measures changes in walking speed, stride length, and other gait parameters over seven weeks to see if the digital approach offers added benefits.
