Brain-Guided balance training: a new frontier in fall prevention?
NCT ID NCT07739056
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a personalized rehabilitation program, tailored to an individual's brain and movement patterns, can reduce fall risk in adults aged 65 and older. Participants will first undergo assessments of brain activity, cognitive function, and balance. High-risk individuals will then be randomly assigned to either the personalized program or standard fall-prevention exercises, attending sessions 2-3 times a week for 8-12 weeks. The study will track falls over several months to see if the personalized approach leads to better outcomes.

- Active substance
- Personalized neurophysiological rehabilitation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more effective, tailored approach to preventing falls in older adults, potentially reducing injuries and improving independence.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with a small number of participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The personalized program is complex and may not prove more effective than standard exercise.
