Summary
This study tests whether balance exercises done at home via video calls can improve walking, balance, and thinking in older adults who are at risk of falling. Sixty people aged 65 and older will be randomly assigned to either remote or in-person training for 8 weeks. Both groups will do the same exercises that combine movement with mental tasks. The goal is to see if the remote option works as well as face-to-face sessions.
