Impact of community-based precision functional training on older adults’ walking and cognitive abilities in rural Taiwan: a pre–posttest study
The training did not have a long-term effect; thus, more frequent practice may be necessary. Risk assessment and community-based interventions, particularly for older adults with a higher risk of falls, are recommended. Future prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to evaluate the PFT program's effectiveness in preserving mobility.
