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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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.

Summary

This study will test whether virtual reality versions of three common mobility tests (walking, standing up, and timed up-and-go) are as accurate and reliable as the traditional versions. Seventy adults aged 65 and older will perform both the VR and conventional tests. The goal is to see if VR can offer a safer, more repeatable way to assess balance and fall risk.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Virtual reality-based functional assessments using Meta Quest 3 headset
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safer, more accessible way to assess mobility and fall risk in older adults using virtual reality.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 70 participants, and VR may not work well for all older adults due to discomfort or unfamiliarity.
