Summary
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) exercises can improve walking and balance in adults aged 60 and older better than standard physical therapy. Half of the 36 participants will use a VR headset to play movement games, while the other half will do traditional exercises like tandem walking. Researchers will measure changes in walking speed and balance after 4-6 weeks of training.
