Summary

This study tests whether older adults (ages 65-74) can improve their balance, reduce fear of falling, and sleep better by doing combined physical and mental exercises at home via video calls with a physiotherapist. Participants will perform 4 weeks of dual-task exercises—like walking while counting or naming objects—three times a week. The goal is to see if this remote approach is a practical way to help seniors stay mobile and safe.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: dual-task exercises (motor and cognitive tasks) delivered via telerehabilitation
What this could lead to: If successful, this could offer a convenient, at-home way for older adults to improve balance, reduce falls, and enhance cognitive function and sleep quality.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all older adults. The exercises require consistent participation and access to video call technology.
