Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates improved balance in community-dwelling older adults, suggesting effective engagement through exergaming.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the impact of wobble board-based therapeutic exergaming on balance in older adults living in the community.
Single-arm experimental study with 37 participants aged 60-80 years
Each participant underwent six wobble board exergaming sessions of 40 minutes over 2 weeks
Balance assessment included the Unipedal Stance Test and Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test at multiple time points.
Significant improvements in static balance were noted post-2-week intervention (P < 0.01) compared to pre-intervention and follow-up values.
