E-ACTIVE AGING study protocol: Evaluating an exergame-based and multicomponent exercise program for community-dwelling older adults at risk of falling.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Falls among older adults represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality, leading to decreased physical activity, loss of independence, and increased dependency. Individuals aged 60 years and older, particularly those with sensory deficits, are at greater risk. While conventional fall-prevention programs are widely implemented, innovative strategies such as active exergames have emerged as promising approaches to enhance balance and reduce fall risk.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a supervised exergame-based multicomponent intervention compared to a traditional multicomponent training program in community-dwelling older adults at risk of falling.

Methods

A randomized controlled trial with parallel groups and blinded assessment
