This study compares two home exercise programs for older adults (65+) who have trouble walking. One program is a brief strength and balance routine, the other is a longer standard program with strength, balance, and aerobic exercises. The goal is to see which program better impro…

This study tests a postbiotic supplement called resO™ to see if it helps adults aged 18-75 with joint discomfort, stiffness, or reduced mobility. Forty participants will take either the supplement or a placebo for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in physical function, pa…

This study compares two balance-training programs for adults aged 55 and older: interactive video games (exergaming using Xbox Kinect) versus standard Otago exercises. Over 6 weeks, 36 participants will do supervised sessions 3 times a week. The goal is to see which approach bett…

This study tests whether using game-like rewards and personal coaching can help older adults (50+) become more active after leaving the hospital. About 350 participants with conditions like high blood pressure or heart failure will wear a Fitbit to track steps. The goal is to see…

This study tests if a technique called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) — using a blood pressure cuff to briefly restrict blood flow — can make exercise more effective for adults over 65 who have trouble walking. Researchers will see if adding RIC to rehab exercise is practical…

This study tests whether a group exercise program called 'On the Move' helps older adults walk better and feel more mobile. About 529 people aged 60 and older from 44 senior centers are taking part. Researchers will measure walking speed and self-reported mobility to see if the p…
