Non-Slip mats and night lights: a simple fix to prevent senior falls?
NCT ID NCT07458958
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether making homes safer—like adding non-slip mats, night lights, and securing rugs—can reduce falls in people aged 60-80 who have fallen before or worry about falling. Researchers will track 320 participants over 12 months to see if these low-cost changes work and are worth scaling up.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Home environment assessment and modification (non-slip mats, night lights, anti-fall signs, double-sided tape) plus personalized advice
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a low-cost, scalable way to prevent falls in older adults living at home.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, single-city trial. Results may not apply to other regions or populations, and the effect may be modest.
