Feasibility of Home-based tDCS for Older Adults at Risk of Falling
In this project, the investigators propose to demonstrate the feasibility of remotely-monitored, caregiver (or spouse)-administered, home-based tDCS intervention to improve mobility in ambulatory older adults with recent falls. This is a three-phase feasibility study in older, ambulatory adult participants at risk of falling due to a loss of balance (participant …
Effect of Multicomponent Exercises VIVIFRAIL® in Older Adults
This study employs a randomized, controlled, paired, single-blind clinical trial design. The targeted demographic comprises individuals aged 60 and above. Following the initial assessment, participants will be randomly allocated to two groups: the Intervention Group (ViviFrail) and the Group Suggestions for a Healthy Life (CG), maintaining a 1:1 allocation ratio. …
Kaempferol Absorption and Pharmacokinetics Evaluation
This study is a multi-site clinical trial designed to evaluate how the body absorbs and processes Kaempferol, a naturally occurring compound found in many plant-based foods. The primary purpose of the study is to measure the pharmacokinetics and biological absorption of Kaempferol in healthy adults. Participants will receive Kaempferol and …
Synbiotic to Attenuate Resorption of the Skeleton
This randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial will test the efficacy of a probiotic/prebiotic combination ("synbiotic") on the skeleton in older women.
Robot-based Intervention to Improve Physical Activity in Older Adults
Physical inactivity is considered a global pandemic negatively impacting the health of over 60% of older adults in America. Interventions aimed at improving physical activity in older adults focus on training reflective processes such as providing information on health benefits of physical activity. These interventions generally find that participants improved …
Neuromodulation and Fatigue
In this project, we aim to determine any potential effects of a weak electrical current applied to the neck or thoracic area on functional capacity and muscle activation. Healthy individuals will participate in one familiarization followed by three experimental sessions. Fatigability and motor function will be assessed in each test …
Effectiveness of Fractionated Laser Resurfacing to Protect Geriatric Skin From Actinic Neoplasia
This study is following up on previous studies that have demonstrated that geriatric subjects respond different to ultraviolet B (UVB) light than young subjects. The treatment of geriatric skin with dermal rejuvenation therapies (dermabrasion, fractionated laser resurfacing) restores the appropriate UVB response. Ongoing studies have tested the ability of fractionated …
Effects of Regular Exercise on Cerebrovascular Reserve in Older Adults
While it is well established that physical inactivity is a modifiable risk factor for vascular disease and cognitive decline, the mechanism by which exercise exerts its protective effect on the cerebral circulation and cognition is unknown. This knowledge gap was recognized recently in the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention …
Optimizing Prevention of Hospital-Acquired Disability Through Multidomain Interventions
The aim of this study is to assess whether a multidomain, multidisciplinary intervention (MDI), enhanced by technological solutions, effectively improves the functional and cognitive status of older hospitalized patients at risk of disability or worsening frailty. Additionally, the study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of delivering these interventions remotely …
Age and Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is a crucial factor for the development of type 2 diabetes and a major health problem for older adults. It is the principal mechanism by which obesity is considered to increase the risk for type 2 diabetes and is a key feature of the metabolic syndrome. The elevated …
