Virtual Tai Ji Quan Exercise for Fall Prevention

This study is looking at two different virtual exercise programs to help older adults reduce their risk of falling. You might be eligible if you are between 65 and 90 years old and have fallen at least once in the past year, or if you have difficulty with balance. The study is comparing a virtual tai ji quan program called "tai ji quan: moving for better balance" (V-TJQMBB) with a virtual multimodal exercise program (V-Multimodal) that includes balance, strength, walking, and stretching. Researchers will track how many falls participants report over six months to see which program is more effective. The study plans to enroll 620 participants.

What this trial measures

  • Self-reported number of fallsMonthly, baseline to 6 months

    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
