Exercise and Virtual Reality for Older Adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
