Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the developed hologram trainer in combination with automatic training progression through artificial intelligence in terms of socioeconomic costs in the healthcare system, as well as the quality of life of the participants. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcomes aim to improve balance ability (Mini-BESTest and FGA), gait function (TUG), balance confidence (ABC scale), fear of falling (FES-I), fall prediction (keeping a diary), cognitive impairment (MoCA), mood (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), and daily physical activity. | — |
