简要总结
The aim of the present study is to evaluate an innovative virtual reality-based balance training intervention for improving clinically relevant motor performances (balance and gait) in older adults.
We hypothesize that the virtual reality-based balance training intervention will improve balance and gait performances in older adults compared to a control group receiving usual care only.

研究组 & 干预措施
Balance Training
Balance training will be conducted individually two times per week for 4 weeks. Each training session will include virtual reality tasks such as "ankle reaching" and "obstacle crossing" using a virtual obstacle shown on a computer screen. Each session will last 30 - 45 minutes.
干预措施: Balance Training (Other)
Control
The control group will keep their normal activity without receiving any intervention.
