First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether virtual reality versions of three common mobility tests (walking, standing up, and timed up-and-go) are as accurate and reliable as the traditional versions. Seventy adults aged 65 and older will perform both the VR and conventional tests. The goal is to see if VR can offer a safer, more repeatable way to assess balance and fall risk.
