What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.
