Improved Balance and Walking Capacities after Tailored Balance Training with and without Superimposed Sensory Stimulation in Older Adults
Tailored balance exercises alone significantly enhanced postural control and walking capacity in healthy older adults. Additional sensory stimulation provided no extra benefit, suggesting that for healthy older adults without major balance impairments, exercises alone may suffice to achieve meaningful functional improvements.
