Interventions

  • Multicomponent Exercise plus Non-Immersive Virtual Reality — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will undergo an 8-week multicomponent exercise program combined with non-immersive virtual reality (VR). Sessions will be conducted twice weekly (60 minutes each) and will include strength, balance, coordination, and functional mobility training, along with VR-based motor and cognitive stimulation using a non-immersive system. The intervention will be delivered in a supervised group setting.
  • Non-Immersive Virtual Reality — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will receive non-immersive virtual reality training for 8 weeks, with two supervised sessions per week (60 minutes each), focused on motor and cognitive stimulation.

Study Details

Population aging is associated with an increased risk of frailty, falls, and loss of autonomy. This pilot study aims to evaluate the effects of a program that combines multicomponent exercise and non-immersive virtual reality (MCE+VR-NI), compared with virtual reality alone (VR-NI) and usual treatment. The primary objective is to determine the program's impact on physical function, balance, cognition, and occupational participation in community-dwelling adults aged over 65 years.
