Integrating balance and cognitive training of varied intensities through exergame balance training may offer a distinct approach to enhancing balance and cognitive abilities in patients with mild cognitive impairment. The objective is to determine the relationship and effects of exergame balance training of different intensities on balance and cognition in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In this four-arm parallel design Randomized Clinical Trial, ninety-seven participants with mild cognitive impairments MoCA (18-24), between the ages of 50 and 75 years, participated in novel exergame balance training.
