Overview

Randomized controlled trial shows improved reaction time and physical performance in older adults, indicating benefits of visual reaction exercises.

Key Points

  • The intervention group showed significantly reduced reaction time after balance-based visual exercises.
  • Participants demonstrated enhanced physical performance in multiple tests, with improved scores on the Falls Efficacy Scale.
  • No significant differences were noted in overall cognitive function measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
  • The study highlights the potential of visually guided exercises to improve functional outcomes in older adults.
