Study of Exercise Training to Prevent Falls in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment

This study is looking at different exercise programs to see if they can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (some memory loss) reduce their risk of falling. You might be eligible if you are 65 to 95 years old, have some memory concerns, and have fallen at least once in the past year or have difficulty with balance. The study is comparing two types of tai ji quan (a traditional Chinese exercise) – dual-task tai ji quan and standard tai ji quan – against a stretching exercise program. Researchers will track how many falls participants report over six months to see which program is most effective. The study plans to enroll 336 people, but its current status is unclear.

What this trial measures

  • Self-reported number of fallsMonthly, baseline to 6 months (i.e., after end of intervention)

    This measure will reflect change in the incidence of falls as a result of intervention. Study participants will be given a falls calendar to record number of falls at home. Falls are defined as "when you land on the floor or the ground, or fall and hit objects like stairs or pieces of furniture, by accident." This information will be ascertained monthly via a phone call by study assessors
