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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether adding proprioceptive exercises—movements that improve your sense of body position—to the standard Otago Exercise Program can better reduce falls and improve balance, strength, and reaction time in adults aged 65 and older with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will be assigned to either the standard Otago program or a combined program and will be assessed over six weeks. The goal is to find a more effective exercise plan to help older adults stay active and independent.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Otago Exercise Programme plus proprioceptive exercises
What this could lead to
If successful, this combined exercise program could offer a more effective way to prevent falls and improve physical function in older adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 54 participants, so results may not apply to all older adults. The exercises require consistent participation and may not be suitable for those with certain health conditions.
