Condition: Fall Prevention · Exercise · Geriatrics · Sponsor: University of Oldenburg
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of perturbation-based balance training (PBT) in preventing unrecovered falls among geriatric patients aged ≥70 years with a prospective fall risk of ≥40%. The study will also assess the safety and feasibility of PBT. The main research questions are: A total of 396 participants will receive 9 training sessions of either PBT or conventional treadmill training and will attend an assessment before and after the intervention, as well as 6 and 12 months follow up. Falls will be documented throughout the entire study period using calendars, telephone interviews, and proxy information. The primary outcome, unrecovered falls, will be recorded after the end of the intervention until 12 months follow up.
