About this trial
The study compares the impact of physical-cognitive exercises using Blazepod device versus conventional balance training on multiple outcomes in older adults aged 70 and above. Participants receive an 8-week intervention, three sessions per week for both groups. Outcome measures include balance assessments, fear of falling scales, activity of daily living performance, sleep quality questionnaires, reaction time tests, and cognitive assessments. The study aims to determine whether physical-cognitive training provides additional benefits compared to conventional balance exercises.
