OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of exercise in improving sensorimotor function and functional performance, crucial parts of activities of daily living in healthy older adults. DESIGN: RCT. SETTING: Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: 39 subjects (mean 71.8 years, range 61 to 89 years). INTERVENTION: Task-oriented visual feedback balance training. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURE: Timed Up and Go (TUG). SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Chair stand test (CST), self-paced walk test, maximum isometric torque, quiet stand posturography, and dynamic balance (DB). RESULTS: Postintervention comparison of the treatment group (TG) and control group (CG) showed better TUG (p < 0.01), CST (p < 0.001), and DB (p < 0.025) for the TG. Pre-post intervention comparison of the TG showed better clinically-relevant outcomes in TUG (p < 0.001), CST (p < 0.001), and DB (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Active driven visual feedback balance training is effective in improving functional performance and dynamic balance in older adults.
