Summary

This study tests whether a series of neuroathletic exercises—including eye muscle training and balance drills—can improve walking speed, reduce fall risk, and boost cognitive function in healthy adults aged 60 to 80. Participants will do these exercises twice a week for 12 weeks under a physiotherapist's guidance. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach can help older adults stay mobile and mentally sharp.
