The Individualized Stimulation to improve Mobility (ISTIM) Study

Have you fallen in the past year?
Do you fear you will fall again?

Study goal: To determine whether non-invasive brain stimulation improves balance, walking, and memory in adults who have fallen in the past year. 

Requirements: If you are over age 65 and have fallen in the past year, you may be eligible to participate.

Participation includes:

• Up to 27 visits over 8 months
• Health interviews, memory, walking and balance testing assessments
• 2 MRI scans at Beth Israel in Boston
