Can simple exercises keep seniors steady on their feet?
NCT ID NCT07525453
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests three different exercise programs—core stabilization, amplitude-based movements (like LSVT BIG), and a combination of both—in healthy adults aged 65 and older. The goal is to see which program best improves dynamic balance and reduces fall risk. Forty-five participants will be followed over time to measure balance, mobility, and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- exercise programs (core stabilization, amplitude-based LSVT BIG, and combined)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show which type of exercise best improves balance and reduces fall risk in older adults, helping guide simple, at-home routines.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise benefits can vary widely between individuals.
