NCT ID NCT07025278
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether a game-based program that combines thinking and movement tasks can help older adults reduce their risk of falling. Participants, aged 65 and older, will engage in a dual-task training where they perform cognitive and motor exercises at the same time, with different focus strategies. The goal is to see if this approach improves balance and mobility, and to understand how it works.
