NCT ID: NCT05965011 Completed - Risk of Falling Clinical Trials

Nordic Walking to Manage Falls and Fear of Falling

Start date: August 29, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a pilot study that aims to test the feasibility and safety of a novel Nordic Walking (NW) activity program for community-dwelling older adults who are at risk of falling or experience fear of falling (FOF). The study also aims to determine the distribution and effect sizes of outcomes to inform future sample size calculations and explore participants' perspectives of the intervention. Participants will be asked to: - Attend training sessions to learn proper Nordic Walking techniques. - Engage in supervised Nordic Walking sessions for a specified duration and frequency. - Keep a log of their walking activities and any falls or near falls experienced. - Complete questionnaires to assess their fear of falling and overall physical activity levels. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the intervention group, consisting of older adults participating in the Nordic Walking program, with a control group of older adults who do not receive the intervention. The comparison will be made to determine if Nordic Walking has a significant impact on reducing falls and fear of falling compared to the control group.

NCT ID: NCT05074511 Completed - Ankle Injuries Clinical Trials

Weight Variations Impacts on the Ankle of the Child

Start date: October 15, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Obesity is a global health problem. It changes the measurement of the human body and makes a big change to move the body. The increased weight and mass change the way the limbs and whole body generate and react to force Excess fat also interferes with joint-muscle interactions that are important for functional capacity and postural balance The tendency to increase the thickness of the abdomen contributes to anterior movement of the COM of the body. The purpose of the study is to investigate the biomechanical effect of weight on foot stability in children.

NCT ID: NCT01880229 Completed - Risk of Falling Clinical Trials

Physical Activity Monitoring in Frailty and Falling

Start date: August 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

BioSensics has developed a Physical Activity Monitoring System (PAMSys) that consists of a single wearable motion sensor that is worn on the torso. The objectives of this observational study are the following: 1) to test the efficacy of PAMSys for objectively assessing a persons risk of falling based on activity data measured during activities of daily living and 2) to test the efficacy of PAMSys for identifying precise early physical activity or functioning indicators of frailty in those who are pre-frail or frail as compared to non-frail controls.
