About this trial

Population aging is associated with an increased risk of frailty, falls, and loss of autonomy. This pilot study aims to evaluate the effects of a program that combines multicomponent exercise and non-immersive virtual reality (MCE+VR-NI), compared with virtual reality alone (VR-NI) and usual treatment. The primary objective is to determine the program's impact on physical function, balance, cognition, and occupational participation in community-dwelling adults aged over 65 years.
