NCT ID NCT07368907
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a 12-week group walking program, called Walk On!, can help prevent falls in older adults who have trouble moving or feel socially isolated. Researchers will enroll 192 participants aged 60 and older at community sites. The program includes twice-weekly walking sessions focused on endurance, strength, and balance. The study will measure how well community organizations can run the program and whether it reduces falls and fear of falling.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, community-based program to reduce falls and improve confidence in older adults.
What could go wrong
This is an early, single-arm trial without a comparison group, so results may not prove the program directly prevents falls. Success depends on community organizations adopting and sustaining the program.
