Mind over matter: imagined walk may predict real falls
NCT ID NCT04039841
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether the difference between how long it takes someone to actually perform a 'get up and walk' test versus how long they imagine it takes can predict future falls. Researchers followed 67 osteoporosis patients for a year after the tests. The goal was to see if a mismatch between real and imagined timing could identify those at higher risk of falling.
