About this study

This trial is testing the feasibility of using home-based transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) to improve mobility in older adults who have recently fallen. It involves training caregivers to administer tES remotely, and assessing its safety and effectiveness over a longer period.

Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.

Endpoints

Secondary: Change from baseline in Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) total score (increased score after intervention means a better outcome), Change from baseline in Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) (reduced time after intervention means a better outcome), Change from baseline in Trail Making Test B - A (reduced time after intervention means a better outcome), Change from baseline in gait speed (increased value after intervention means a better outcome), Change from baseline in the dual task cost to gait speed (reduced dual task cost after intervention means a better outcome), Change from baseline in the dual task cost to standing postural sway speed (reduced dual task cost after intervention means a better outcome)
