| Objective: To investigate the intervention effect of virtual situational interactive training system reducing the falling risk in older adults. Methods: Forty older adults were randomly divided into control group and training group, 20 cases in each group. The control group received education of falls prevention program. The training group received education of falls prevention program combined with virtual situational interactive training for three months. The dynamic gait index (DGI), time up and go test (TUGT), modified falls efficacy scale (MFES) and serum BDNF were recorded and evaluated before and after intervention, respectively. Results: After virtual svirtual situational interactive training, the DGI and serum BDNF of the older adults in training group were enhanced, and the results of TUGT and MFES were significantly improved as compared with those before intervention and the control group (allP<0.05), respectively. Conclusion: Virtual situational situational interactive training system can improve cognitive aging, gait stability, body movement function and BDNF levels of the older adults, and has a good intervention effect on reducing the falling risk of older adults. |
