Brain and balance training may keep seniors on their feet
NCT ID NCT07199426
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two 8-week exercise programs in adults aged 70 and older: one that combines physical balance exercises with cognitive tasks using a device called Blazepod, and another that uses conventional balance training alone. Researchers will measure balance, fear of falling, daily living skills, sleep quality, reaction time, and cognitive function. The goal is to see if adding cognitive challenges to physical training offers extra benefits for preventing falls.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Physical-cognitive training using the Blazepod device
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could point toward a more effective way to improve balance and prevent falls in older adults.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is non-invasive, but benefits over standard exercises are uncertain.
