Summary

This study looks at whether combining walking with a virtual reality game on a treadmill can improve both movement and thinking in older adults with motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), a condition that raises dementia risk. Ten volunteers aged 65 and older will do 18 sessions over six weeks, either on a VR treadmill or a regular treadmill. Researchers will measure changes in walking speed, thinking skills, and daily activity to see if the VR approach offers extra benefits.
