New balance training could cut fall risk for seniors with brain circulation issues
NCT ID NCT07358338
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 their fall risk, balance, and cognitive function to a control group doing standard exercises. The goal is to see if these high-tech tools are better than regular therapy for preventing falls.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Biofeedback training devices (Huber stabilizer and C-Mill treadmill)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new, non-drug way to improve balance and reduce falls in older adults with chronic brain circulation problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The devices are not widely available, and benefits may be modest.
