What this Trial Is About

Falls in the elderly are one of the main sources of disability and hospitalization, with a significant impact on quality of life and social and healthcare costs. Falls represent a significant health concern for people over 60 years old. Numerous studies have shown that falls cause serious health consequences. Around 30% of people over the age of 60 experience a fall during the year. According to the impact falls have, the investigators decided to analyze the effectiveness of training on a Walker View sensorized treadmill, with the possibility of exercises for coordination and balance, compared to training with a conventional group therapy, in order to understand the best training to reduce the risk of falling and observe the possible improvements in daily life activities. So the study aims to identify the most effective rehabilitation method between a treatment with a sensorized treadmill (Walker View) and a conventional group therapy in balance disorders. The study also aims to identify predictive indices, with the use of Artificial Intelligence, that can contribute to the prevention and diagnosis of balance disorders in a short time and prevent falls in the elderly.
