rSTAND Trial Summary
This trial will help develop a computerized program to improve cognitive abilities for older adults, which may help reduce accidental falls.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for US residents aged 65 or older who speak English fluently, have had a fall in the past year or struggle with walking/climbing stairs. They must be able to see, hear, and use a computer mouse or tablet well enough to do the program. People can't join if they've had recent major joint surgery/injury, regularly use mobility aids like walkers/wheelchairs, suffer from certain vertigo conditions or severe untreated psychiatric issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a digital cognitive-training program aimed at improving balance and reducing falls among older adults by enhancing cognitive functions related to fall risk. Participants will engage with this computerized training designed for those without long-term treatment options.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves cognitive exercises on a computer rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience eye strain or mild frustration during the tasks.
