This trial tests whether a fun virtual reality game (like a video game you do standing up) can improve balance and walking better than a set of simple exercises. It is for older adults who can still walk on their own but want to stay steady on their feet.
This study compares virtual reality exercises to standard physical therapy for improving balance in people with one leg amputated below the knee. It may help you regain better balance and confidence in walking.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (wearing a headset with special programs) combined with occupational therapy can help older adults improve balance, reduce falls, and become less frail. If you join, you would do these exercises during your rehabilitation sessions at the residence.
This study compares virtual reality exercises (using a headset) with traditional physiotherapy to improve balance, reduce frailty, and prevent falls. Both methods aim to help you move safely and confidently.
This study uses virtual reality games to test your attention and reaction time, helping doctors understand your risk of falling. It's for older adults who can walk on their own.
This study tests a fun virtual reality exercise program using a Meta Quest 3 headset to help relieve knee pain and improve movement. It is designed for adults with knee osteoarthritis who speak Arabic.
