Robotic-Assisted System in Enhancing Balance, Postural Stability, Functional Gait and Fall Efficacy in Older Adults
Investigating the Role of a Robotic-Assisted System in Enhancing Balance, Postural Stability, Functional Gait and Fall Efficacy in Older Adults Compared to Balance and Mobility Exercise - A Pilot Study

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Our study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a more individualized and personalized feedback-oriented approach using the Hunova Robotic Systems. This system is tailored to specific needs of individuals and is dynamically adjustable relative to patients' balance and functional demands. It will be compared to Traditional Balance and Mobility Exercise which are more generalized. Given the generalized nature of Traditional approaches, we aim to compare it with the Hunova Robotic Systems in the enhancement of Balance, Postural Stability, Functional Gait and Fall Efficacy in older adults.
