First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a seated foot and ankle exercise program can improve balance, foot posture, and reduce falls in people aged 65 and older. Fifty participants did the exercises at home while seated to stay safe. The goal was to see if these simple moves could help older adults stay steady and avoid injuries.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Foot and ankle proprioceptive exercise program
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple seated exercise program could help older adults improve balance and reduce fall risk without special equipment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all seniors. The exercises are very specific and may not prevent falls in real-world settings.
