Exercise and virtual reality for older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial combines gentle exercise with virtual reality (a fun, computer-generated experience) to help older adults stay active, improve balance, and keep their minds sharp. If you're 65 or older and generally independent, this could be a good way to stay healthy.
