A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This intervention program aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a pressure sensor-based exercise mat and linked software for improving cognitive and physical functions in community-dwelling older adults. Participants will engage in group training sessions led by a fitness coach, using the mat to perform balance and cognitive tasks displayed on a monitor. The study will include a pilot test followed by a randomized control trial to assess the program's efficacy in enhancing balance, physical fitness, cognition, and overall quality of life.
