Study population: The study will be conducted on two groups of patients over the age of 70: one group with a history of one or more falls within the past year, and the other group with no history of falls during that same period. The two groups will be matched for age (±5 years) and gender.
Who may be able to join
- men or women
- who have fallen one or more times in the past 12 months
- aged 70 or older
- independent in activities of daily living (ADL ≥ 5.5/6, with occasional urinary incontinence)

About this study
This study is a controlled, open-label biomedical research project in cognitive neuroscience designed to examine the results (postural stability, error rates, and spatiotemporal parameters of eye movements and head movements) of three tests assessing visuospatial functions (active object search, simple exploration, and a control condition with fixation on a stationary point) in two groups of subjects:
- a group of patients with a history of falls
- a control group of patients matched for age (±5 years) and sex who had not fallen recently.
- Conditions
- Fall
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
peripheral vision
Maximum range of mediolateral head movement under different visual conditions.
Measured: characterize postural instability based on the difficulty of the visual task at baseline.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Fall, run by University Hospital, Lille.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
peripheral vision (time frame: characterize postural instability based on the difficulty of the visual task at baseline.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 May 2026.
