Have you had a fall in the past year?

Do you feel unsteady while walking or feel less confident in your balance?

Do you have a fear of falling?

About the rSTAND Study

You might consider participating in a research study that involves a computerized cognitive training program for fall prevention in older adults. The program is designed to improve the cognitive processes responsible for balance, coordination, gait, dynamic stability, and balance confidence. This study evaluates the effects of this training program in those with elevated fall risk. Participants will be compensated up to $185.

What will I do?

  • This is a remote study, no travel is required.
  • You will be asked to complete assessments and questionnaires to determine eligibility.
  • If eligible, you will complete additional questionnaires and assessments before and after the training period.
  • You will engage in the training program for ~30 mins/day for 10 weeks.
  • You will also be asked to wear an Apple watch for fall detection.
