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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looked at whether fast, powerful hip exercises can improve balance and reduce falls in older adults. Researchers compared high-speed hip resistance training to slower strength training in 97 healthy adults aged 65 and older. The goal was to see if faster exercises help people take better sideways steps to catch themselves from falling.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Power training (fast hip resistance exercises)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to simple exercise programs that help older adults prevent falls and stay independent.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 97 participants. The exercises may not work for everyone, and results need to be confirmed in larger trials.
