Minimizing Fall-Related Injury in Older Adults: a Motor Learning Approach
NCT05260034 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Falls are the leading cause of accidental injury and injury-related death among older adults. Despite evidence that falls can be prevented, fall related injuries have not declined over time. Current fall injury prevention techniques targeting mobility and bone strength have merit yet their effectiveness is limited. Indeed, a recent Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute/National Institute on Aging funded pragmatic trial of individualized multifactorial strategy to prevent serious fall injuries in over 5500 seniors revealed no difference in fall injuries between the intervention and standard care arm. The inconclusive results of the investigation may be due in part to focusing on fall prevention rather than mitigation of fall-related impact acceleration and forces - the "fundamental variables" for injury prevention. A fall-related injury occurs when the body hits the ground with force that is greater than tissue strength. Development of innovative approaches that focus on fundamental variables of injury prevention is needed.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05260034
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05260034 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 33 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Kansas Medical Center, which has 454 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Mobility Limitation appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which FAST Program 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: NCT05260034 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Kansas. 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.
