Task Specific Timing and Coordination Exercise to Improve Mobility in Older Adults: Program to Improve Mobility in Aging
NCT02663778 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This randomized clinical trial targets 248 community-dwelling older adults with impaired mobility (i.e. walking slowly; gait speed \< 1.20 m/s). The trial compares a 12 week "standard-plus" program of strength, endurance, flexibility plus task specific timing and coordination training to a standard 12 week strength, endurance and flexibility program. The primary outcome is gait speed at 12 weeks. Secondary and tertiary outcomes represent components of the intervention and measures of activity and participation. Delayed and sustained effects of the intervention are examined at 24 and 36 weeks.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02663778
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02663778 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 353 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Pittsburgh, which has 1,082 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Gait, Unsteady appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 5 interventions — of which Strength training is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02663778 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
