Fall Prevention in Mild Cognitive Impairment (NCT07507812)
Fall Prevention in Cognitively Impaired Older Veterans Through Neurophysiological Rehabilitation
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Falls represent the leading cause of hospitalization, nursing home admissions, disability and mortality for older adults with annual healthcare costs over $50 billion. Older Veterans with cognitive impairment are at an increased risk of falls and injurious fall. The purpose of this study is to test the effects of 6 weeks of a virtual tele-neurorehabilitation intervention on fall prevention, functional mobility, strength, cognition and performance of activities of daily living. Participants will be one of 28 participants in the VA Maryland Health Care System. Participation in the study is voluntary and the research will be conducted at the VA Maryland Health Care System. The entire study will take approximately 2 years to complete. Subject's participation in the study will last 3 months.
