About this trial

This trial is enrolling 120 participants with spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis who use a wheelchair or scooter to compare two fall-prevention approaches: a personalized mobile program (iROLL-O+); or a standard fall-prevention education based on the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) program. If included, participants will be randomly assigned to take part in a 6-week fall-prevention and management program delivered either through the iROLL app or through STEADI educational materials. Final testing will be performed after 14 weeks.
