简要总结
Falling is a serious concern for the growing elderly population due to age-related decline in physical function, leading to injuries, loss of independence, and a decline in overall well-being.
The Otago Exercise Program (OEP), for the elderly consists of lower limb strengthening and balance exercises, leading to better strength, balance, and reduced fear of falling.
The interactive and game-like nature of VR training can make it more engaging and motivating for older adults. It can provide challenging and engaging approach to exercise that can help to improve stability, enhance quality of life and reduce the risk of fall.

结局指标
主要结局
Balance
时间窗: 12 weeks
The Mini-BESTest includes 14 items that examine performance tasks related to dynamic balance. The test has a maximum score of 28 points from 14 items that are each scored from 0-2.
Gait Speed
时间窗: 12 weeks
he 10 Meter Walk Test, will be used to assess walking speed in meters per second over a short distance. Using the data from the test i.e. time taken to complete distance and step count, gait speed will be evaluated based on the given formula: Distance walked/time(sec)
Cycle Time
时间窗: 12 weeks
The 10 Meter Walk Test, will be used to assess walking speed in meters per second over a short distance. Using the data from the test i.e. time taken to complete distance and step count, cycle time will be evaluated based on the given formula: Time(sec) x 2 /No. of steps
Cadence
时间窗: 12 weeks
The 10 Meter Walk Test, a performance measure will be used to assess walking speed in meters per second over a short distance. Using the data from the test i.e. time taken to complete distance and step count, cadence will be evaluated based on the given formula: No of steps x 60/time(sec)
Stride Length
时间窗: 12 weeks
The 10 Meter Walk Test, a performance measure will be used to assess walking speed in meters per second over a short distance. Using the data from the test i.e. time taken to complete distance and step count, stride length will be evaluated based on the given formula: gait speed (m/s) x cycle time(sec)
Leg Strength
时间窗: 12 weeks
The 30 Second Sit to Stand Test will be used to test leg strength and endurance in older adults. The test stand involves recording the number of stands a person can complete in 30 seconds.
Fear of Fall
时间窗: 12 weeks
The Falls Efficacy Scale International, measure of "fear of falling" or "concerns about falling. It is a 16-item questionnaire, the item scores are summed up to obtain a total, with a score ranging from minimum 16 to maximum 64.
