Use of Tele-Exercise for Translating an Evidence-Based Fall-Prevention Program for Older Adults in West Virginia
NCT03714100 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
West Virginia (WV) has a critical need for resources to reach more of its older adults with fall-prevention programming. The Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance® (TJQMBB) program is an evidence-based, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-approved, community-delivered, physical activity fall-prevention intervention for older adults. The program is efficacious and effective in reducing falls in older adults, and has been translated into clinical and community settings. Programs delivered in one setting; however, may not automatically translate to others. Using telehealth technology to deliver exercise classes (i.e. tele-exercise) is one alternative to the traditional, face-to-face, group exercise classes where the instructor and participants are in the same room. We propose delivering tele-TJQMBB to older adults using a computer, television, and the internet. This delivery mode will allow us to recruit instructors from any location (e.g., urban areas), and with possibly more experience, yet still reach older adults in communities without instructors.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03714100
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03714100 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 52 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is West Virginia University, which has 93 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 Accidental Falls appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance 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: NCT03714100 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include West Virginia. 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.
