First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a muscle-stimulating device (NMES) to a standard exercise program can strengthen hip muscles and improve balance in older veterans at high risk for falls. About 81 veterans aged 55 and older will take part. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce fall risk more than exercise alone.
