Summary
This study tested whether playing balance games on a Wii Fit board could help women aged 40-60 who have osteoporosis after a mastectomy. Sixty women participated, and their balance was measured before and after eight weeks of training. The goal was to see if this fun, home-like exercise could improve their stability and reduce fall risk.
