ACCIDENTAL FALL

This study tests whether two biofeedback devices—a balance platform (Huber) and a smart treadmill (C-Mill)—can improve balance and reduce fall risk in 120 older adults (65+) with chronic cerebral ischemia. Participants will do 8 sessions of training, and researchers will compare …

This study looks at whether a special ultrasound (contrast-enhanced ultrasound) can accurately find abdominal organ injuries in young children after a blunt belly injury, like from a fall or car crash. About 120 children under 8 years old will get both the ultrasound and a standa…

This study tests whether backward walking training can reduce fall risk in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). About 90 participants will either practice walking backward or forward for several weeks. The goal is to see if backward walking improves balance and reduces falls bett…

This early-phase study tests whether changing the frequency of deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with Parkinson's disease walk better and have fewer freezing episodes. Twelve participants who already have DBS implants will try alternating-frequency stimulation. The goa…

This study looks at whether hospitals can safely reduce the use of fall prevention alarms. About 300 hospital staff and units will try different strategies like education and feedback to see if they can lower alarm use without increasing patient falls. The goal is to improve pati…
