Summary
This pilot study tests a culturally adapted fall prevention program for adults aged 60 and older living in urban Karachi, Pakistan. Participants take part in a 7-week group program covering strength and balance exercises, home safety, and medication awareness. The study aims to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, and whether it improves mobility, confidence, and well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Stepping On Fall Prevention Program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, culturally tailored fall prevention program for older adults in low-resource urban settings, reducing fall-related injuries and improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (75 participants) focused on feasibility, not effectiveness. Results may not generalize to other populations or settings, and the program may not reduce falls as hoped.
