What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study investigates how balance and cognitive tasks—like walking while doing mental math—affect each other in older adults. Researchers will compare healthy seniors with those who have experienced dizziness or falls, using wearable sensors and cognitive tests. The goal is to understand these interactions to design better fall-prevention and rehabilitation programs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better fall-prevention programs and smart rehabilitation tools for older adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 55 participants, so results may not apply to all older adults. It is observational and does not test a treatment.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
