They are then prompted to begin their daily prescriptive intervention, which is a 7-day-a-week program for 12 weeks. Participants can view a video of the exercise intervention in real-time in order to "mirror" the exercises as they are completing the exercises., primaryPurpose: PREVENTION, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, maskingDescription: The primary investigator, who delivers the treatment, is blinded to to the performance outcome measures., whoMasked: INVESTIGATOR, enrollmentInfo count: 70, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: multiplanar balance training exercise with education, interventions name: education only, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Timed up and Go Test measured in Seconds, primaryOutcomes measure: 3 stage balance test measured in seconds, primaryOutcomes measure: 30-second chair stand measured in repeitions, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 65 Years, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Metro PT, status: RECRUITING, city: New York, state: New York, zip: 10021, country: United States, contacts name: dilshaad vad, DPT, role: CONTACT, phone: 917-478-2444, email: dilshaad.vad@gmail.com, contacts name: Lior Cohen, DPT, role: CONTACT, phone: 9175549511, geoPoint lat: 40.71427, lon: -74.00597, hasResults: False
