Overview

Systematic review and network meta-analysis reveals ST and NT improve dynamic balance, suggesting fall prevention strategies.

Key Points

  • Significant improvements in dynamic balance were observed with sensorimotor training and neurofunctional training, highlighting their effectiveness.
  • Dynamic balance was assessed via the Timed Up and Go Test, with sensorimotor training showing a standardized mean difference of −0.92.
  • A systematic review and network meta-analysis included 49 randomized controlled trials, totaling 3,028 older adults and followed PRISMA guidelines.
  • The findings suggest that while some modalities improve balance, their individual clinical efficacy remains limited and inconclusive.
