Video game exercises for balance and walking
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether playing interactive video games (called 'exergames') can help older adults improve their walking and balance. If you are independent, you might find it a fun and safe way to stay steady on your feet.

This study tests how playing fun exercise video games (exergames) can improve foot muscle activity, balance, and ability to move around in older adults who are otherwise healthy.
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 is testing whether playing a video game can help improve thinking, memory, or physical function in older adults. If you are 60 or older, don't have dementia or major health issues, and can follow instructions, you may be able to join.
This study uses virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D environment) to test how well you can move and keep your balance. It may help doctors better understand and improve mobility in older adults.
This trial tests if chair-based video games (exergaming) can help improve strength and mobility in older adults who are frail or pre-frail and live in nursing homes. It is designed for people who can sit on a chair or wheelchair without help.
