Can a few weeks of simple steps stop seniors from falling?
NCT ID NCT05734443
Summary
This study tested whether a simple, equipment-free step training program could help older adults (aged 65-80) recover their balance and avoid a fall after tripping. Researchers compared this new step training to a more complex treadmill training program and to no training at all. After three weeks of training, participants were carefully tripped in a lab to see how well they could recover.
