The investigators will combine minimalist footwear, plantar massage, and workshops to re-learn walking and posture. The main objective of this study is to verify the acceptability and feasibility of this program among the elderly.

NCT ID: NCT06291792 Recruiting - Balance; Distorted Clinical Trials

Otago Exercise Program Applied By Telerehabilitation

OEPABT
Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Otago Exercise Program (OEP) on pain, walking speed, lower extremity muscle strength, fear of falling, anxiety, quality of life and balance with the telerehabilitation method in individuals with a history of falling, which is frequently seen in elderly individuals due to aging. 45 people between the ages of 65 and 78 participated in the study. They were randomly divided into 3 groups as control, telerehabilitation otago exercise program (TOEG) and face-to-face otago exercise program (FOEG). 45 minutes of OEP was applied 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Pain, walking speed, lower extremity muscle strength, fear of falling, anxiety, quality of life, and balance were evaluated before the Otago Exercise Program, at the 4th week, at the 8th week, and 4 weeks after the end of the exercise program. Significance was evaluated at the p<0.05 level in the study.

NCT ID: NCT06076525 Withdrawn - Falling Clinical Trials

Motor Flexibility in Multidirectional Balance Control

Start date: July 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this observational study is to learn about how older adults (those 65 and above) manage to maintain balance when experiencing a slip or trip while walking. The study is especially interested in how quickly and flexibly adjustments to movement can be made to avoid falling. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - How does the ability to adjust movements quickly, also known as "motor flexibility," affect the chances of recovering from a slip or trip? - Can targeted training improve this ability in older adults, making falls less likely? Participants will walk on a specially designed treadmill that can simulate slips and trips and undergo a training program designed to improve the ability to adjust movements quickly. Researchers will compare older adults to younger adults to see if age affects the ability to adjust movements quickly and recover balance after a slip or trip. Researcher's will also compare the performance of older adults before and after the training program to see if balance recovery improves.

NCT ID: NCT06056180 Recruiting - Healthy Aging Clinical Trials

The Effect of Motor Image Training on Balance Performance in Geriatric Individuals

Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study [type of study: clinical trial] is to was planned to investigate the effect of motor imagery training given to geriatric individuals with action observation on their balance performance and to compare these two methods. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is virtual reality-based balance training given together with action observation and motor imagery for six weeks in geriatric individuals more effective in improving static balance than virtual reality-based balance training given alone? 2. Is virtual reality-based balance training given together with action observation and motor imagery for six weeks in geriatric individuals more effective in improving dynamic balance than virtual reality-based balance training given alone? 3. Is virtual reality-based balance training given together with motor imagery for six weeks in geriatric individuals more effective in increasing balance confidence than virtual reality-based balance training given alone? 46 geriatric individuals will be randomized into 2 groups. Along with action observation, motor imagery training and virtual reality-based balance training will be given to the study group. On the other hand, only virtual reality-based balance training will be given to the control group. All assessments will be repeated before and after the trainings. The trainings will be applied 2 days a week for 6 weeks. Each training session; 25 minutes for the control group and 45 minutes for the study group.

NCT ID: NCT05956444 Completed - Clinical trials for Cerebral Palsy, Spastic

NDT on Fall Risk in Cerebral Palsied Children

Start date: June 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Children with spastic cerebral palsy experience falls due to weakness in balance skills and abnormalities in gait parameters. It is necessary to improve the quality of life of these children by reducing the frequency of falling. Aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Neurodevelopmental Treatment on the risk of falling and balance and to contribute to the literature on this subject. Cases were randomized into study and control groups. At the beginning of the study, the balance skills of all the cases with spastic cerebral palsy were measured with the Pediatric Balance Scale, and the gait parameters and fall risks were measured with the LEGSys Temporospatial Gait Analysis Device. Then, an 8-week, case-specific, neurodevelopmental therapy program with intensive gait and balance training was applied to the study group in a 45-minute single session, 2 days a week. The control group received 8 weeks of conventional physiotherapy. At the end of the treatment process, the evaluations were repeated with the same methods.

Effects of COVID-19 on the Elderly

COVID-19
Start date: March 2, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to learn about in former COVID-19 patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - are there any association among pain, fear of falling, fall frequency, and physical activity level - are there any difference between former COVID-19 elders and non-COVID-19 elderly population

NCT ID: NCT05690308 Completed - Parkinson Disease Clinical Trials

Visual Perturbation Training to Reduce Fall Risk in People With Parkinson's Disease

Vesti-PD
Start date: December 20, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Falls during walking are common in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Fall risk can be attributed in part to the loss of automaticity in walking and an increased reliance on sensory cues, such as the input from the balance organ. In this project the investigators want to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation training aiming to improve this vestibular input. The effects of a visual perturbation training in a virtual reality environment will be compared to conventional treadmill training.
