NCT ID NCT04039841

First seen Apr 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times

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.
