First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how two different core stability training programs affect balance, walking, and fall risk in healthy older adults aged 65-80. Researchers measured trunk control and mobility before and after training. The goal was to find better ways to design exercise programs that help seniors stay active and independent.
