Effectiveness of Virtual Reality in Balance Training for Fall Prevention in Older Adults: Systematic Review.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) in balance training for the prevention of falls in older adults.

Methods: We included studies with experimental designs, cohort studies, and quasi-experimental studies of older adults who underwent balance training associated with the use of VR for the prevention of falls. The comparison of control and intervention groups in the studies reported statistically significant improvements in terms of balance for VR.
