Summary
This pilot study tests whether an 8-week program that mixes exercise with non-immersive virtual reality can improve balance, thinking, and daily activities in adults over 65. Sixty participants will be split into three groups: exercise plus VR, VR alone, or usual care. The goal is to see if this fun, supervised approach can help prevent frailty and falls.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, enjoyable way to help older adults stay active, prevent falls, and maintain independence.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (60 people) with no blinding, so results may not be generalizable. The intervention is short (8 weeks), and long-term benefits are unknown.
