NCT ID NCT06392113
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a falls management tool adapted for adults with intellectual disabilities. 13 participants, including adults with intellectual disabilities, carers, and clinicians, tried the program and gave feedback on how easy it was to use. The goal was to see if the tool is clear and practical, not yet to measure if it prevents falls.

Active substance
Falls prevention advice (booklet and videos)
What this could lead to
If this tool proves easy to use, it could lead to a larger study testing whether it actually helps prevent falls in adults with intellectual disabilities.
What could go wrong
This is a very small proof-of-concept study with only 13 participants. It only measures usability, not whether falls actually decrease. The tool may not work in real-world settings.
