Exergames tested as fun way to boost balance in seniors
NCT ID NCT07357662
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether interactive video game exercises (exergames) can improve foot muscle activation, balance, and mobility in healthy older adults aged 65-80. Forty participants will be split into two groups: one doing exergame training and the other doing standard balance exercises, both for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in muscle activity, balance, and walking ability to see if the game-based approach offers extra benefits.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a fun, engaging way to help older adults improve balance and reduce fall risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises may not be more effective than standard balance training.
