Overview

Systematic review shows virtual reality training improves balance and mobility in older adults, suggesting potential benefits for fall risk reduction.

Key Points

  • VR training improves balance and mobility as effectively as conventional exercise in older adults.
  • Seven RCTs with 664 participants were analyzed, showing VR's superior effects in some cases.
  • Combining VR with balance exercises led to the greatest improvements in muscle strength and performance.
  • Cognitive benefits and a 42% reduction in fall incidence were reported following VR intervention in select studies.
