Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate an innovative virtual reality-based balance training intervention for improving clinically relevant motor performances (balance and gait) in people with mild cognitive impairment.

The investigators hypothesize that the virtual reality-based balance training intervention will improve balance and gait performances in people with mild cognitive impairment compared to a control group receiving usual care only.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Balance Training

Balance training will be conducted individually two times per week for 4 weeks. Each training session will include virtual reality tasks such as "ankle reaching" and "obstacle crossing" using a virtual obstacle shown on a computer screen. Each session will last 30 - 45 minutes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
