Fall Prevention Among People With Spinal Cord Injury and Multiple Sclerosis Who Use Wheelchairs and Scooters

Development and Validation of a mHealth Fall Management Program - Phase III

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The research team is conducting a study to determine if a fall prevention program designed specifically for people who use wheelchairs and scooters can help people better prevent and manage falls compared to the standard of care. This study will compare two groups of participants: 1. One group will use the iROLL-O+ app, which offers personalized fall prevention tools and strategies. 2. The other group will receive fall prevention information from a well-known program developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), called STEADI, which stands for Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries. This study includes adults living with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) or Multiple Sclerosis (MS) who use a wheelchair or scooter every day. The research team aims to determine which approach is more effective in reducing falls and improving confidence in performing daily activities.
