Virtual reality and rehab to prevent falls in older adults
This trial tests whether using virtual reality plus occupational therapy can help older adults reduce their risk of falling and becoming frail. You'll use a VR headset during rehab sessions at the residence.

This study tests a new augmented reality (AR) balance training program designed to help older adults improve balance and prevent falls. Participants will use AR technology while doing exercises at home, and the study will track their progress over time.
This study tests whether combining exercise with virtual reality (computer-based games or simulations) can help older adults stay stronger, more active, and mentally sharp. Researchers will see if this mix of physical activity and technology is better than exercise alone.
This study compares two types of physical therapy: one using virtual reality (like a video game) and the other using traditional exercises. It aims to see which helps improve balance, reduce frailty, and prevent falls in adults 40 and older who have had a fall or have balance trouble.
This study tests whether playing virtual reality games can improve balance, reduce fall risk, and boost exercise ability in people with Parkinson's disease. You will attend therapy sessions that use a VR headset designed to help with movement.
This trial tests a virtual program to help people with mild memory problems reduce their risk of falling. You can join if you live at home, have had a fall or worry about falling, and have mild cognitive impairment (not dementia).
This study uses virtual reality to test attention and reaction time, which may help predict fall risk in older adults who can walk on their own.
