What this trial studies

This intervention focuses on enhancing motor control in elderly individuals through a novel multisensory-rhythmic approach. It utilizes virtual reality and rhythmic skill training to provide sensory stimulation and improve motor planning. Participants will engage in various activities, including visual feedback training and relaxation exercises, aimed at preserving their independence in daily activities. The study targets both healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment, assessing their motor responses in a supportive environment.
