NCT ID NCT06175871
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a better way to help older adults with muscle, bone, or nerve problems who are at risk of falling. Researchers will first study patients' health profiles and balance, then test a simple exercise program called OTAGO to see if it prevents falls. The goal is to reduce injuries and hospital visits in seniors.
