What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The aging process involves physiological changes in organs and tissues that can evolve towards fragility and increased risk of falls. Falls, which can be one of the adverse results of frailty in older people, are the second leading cause of death worldwide. When an elderly person falls, it entails not only hospitalization, immobilization, and the consequent deterioration, but also usually causes fear of falling again, which can also lead to the onset of disability. The inherent aging process can be linked to the deterioration of postural control and balance, posing serious health problems. In falls in the elderly, both sensorimotor and cognitive functions are affected, the functioning of which is degraded to a greater extent by anxiety and stress. Nowadays, more extensive, and more precise research is needed in the study of the interactions between cognition, stress, and postural control
