Tele-Supervised Dual-Task Balance Training in Community-Dwelling Older Adults at Risk of Falls

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Telerehabilitation, Gait Balance

In brief

Dual-task training combines movement with cognitive tasks to improve gait, balance, and thinking. This study will compare tele-supervised versus onsite dual-task balance training in older adults at risk of falls. Sixty participants aged 65+ will be randomly assigned to either remote or face-to-face training for 8 weeks. Both groups will follow the same program, delivered via video calls or direct supervision. Outcomes measures will include gait speed, balance, and cognition using the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Trail Making Test Part B (TMT-B).
