What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests whether adding weekly foot health workshops—covering minimalist footwear, foot massages, and re-learning walking and posture—to standard balance training can improve mobility and reduce fall risk in older adults living in nursing homes. Participants will be randomly assigned to either balance workshops alone or balance workshops plus the foot health program. The main goal is to see if the combined approach leads to better mobility, measured by the Timed Up and Go test, compared to balance training alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A combination of minimalist footwear, foot massages, and workshops to re-learn walking and posture, plus balance workshops.
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a simple, non-drug way to reduce falls and improve mobility in older adults, potentially lowering hospitalizations and deaths.
What could go wrong
The study is relatively small and the intervention is behavioral, so results may vary. It may not be effective for all residents, and the benefits might not last long after the workshops end.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 200 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jul 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

65 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * People aged 65 and older. * Residents of nursing homes. * Able to walk, with or without a walking aid (cane, walker, etc.) * Residents at risk of falling, defined by at least one of the following criteria: history of a fall within the last 12 months; unsteadiness while walking or balance issues; limited mobility. * Able to understand and follow simple instructions. * Able to participate in workshops. * Enrolled in a social security program or beneficiaries of an equivalent program. * Individuals (participants, guardians, or conservators, as applicable) who have been informed and have provided written consent for their participation in the study. Exclusion Criteria: \- Regular use of minimalist shoes at the time of enrollment. * Medical condition or clinical situation contraindicating the use of minimalist shoes, as determined by the investigator. * Use of orthopedic shoes prescribed by a healthcare professional. * Unhealed foot wound or active foot infection. * Recent lower limb fracture (\< 3 months) or recent lower limb trauma, likely to limit participation in the workshops or contraindicate foot mobilization, as assessed by the investigator. * Severe cognitive impairment preventing the understanding of simple instructions or participation in the workshops. * Any other clinical condition deemed incompatible with participation in the study by the investigator.
