First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of exercise—square stepping and wobble board—to see which one better improves thinking, balance, and fall risk in people aged 60 and older. Thirty-eight participants will do one of the exercises for 30 minutes a day, five days a week, for six weeks. Researchers will measure changes in balance, fear of falling, and mental function.
