NCT ID NCT05822466
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a tai ji quan (a gentle exercise) program, done remotely at home, can reduce falls in older adults at high risk. Researchers will compare it to a standard exercise program involving balance and strength training. 620 people aged 65-90 who have fallen before or have trouble walking will participate. The goal is to see if tai ji quan is more effective at preventing falls and improving physical function.
