简要总结
This study is a 6-month prospective, parallel-group, Randomized Clinical Trial RCT designed to compare the effects of conventional Dual-Task Training versus Head-Mounted Virtual Reality HMD-VR on lower limb strength, balance, and quality of life in elderly participants. A minimum of 36 participants (18 per group), aged over 60, will be recruited from Old Age Homes in Belagavi, India. Participants will be randomized into two arms: Group A will receive Conventional Dual-Task Training (balance exercises combined with cognitive tasks) and Group B will receive HMD-VR (balance-focused games using a VR device). Both interventions will be delivered for 45 minutes per session, two days per week for 6 weeks. The primary outcomes Lower Limb Strength (Modified 30s Sit-Stand Test), Balance (Berg Balance Scale), and Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) will be measured at baseline and post-intervention. Statistical analysis will involve Paired t tests (or Wilcoxon signed rank test) and Independent samples t test (or Mann Whitney U test) for group comparisons, with a p value less than 0.05 considered significant.
