AI-Adaptive AR Training for Balance and Falls Prevention in Older Adults (NCT07781995)
Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Augmented Reality Training to Improve Mobility, Balance, and Prevent Falls in Older Adults: A Feasibility Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Falls are a common problem in adults within the age of 55-80 years and can lead to injury and loss of independence. This study is testing a new type of balance training using augmented reality (AR). In this intervention, participants will see virtual objects, such as obstacles, placed in their environment and will practice stepping over or moving around them. The system will adjust the difficulty based on each person's performance. Participants will complete training sessions over several weeks. We will measure changes in balance, walking ability, and confidence before and after the program. The goal is to see if this training can help improve balance and reduce the risk of falls in older adults.
