The subjects consisted of 31 volunteers aged 60 to 92 years who were studied in three groups: (1) A group under standard physical training, (2) a group under visuo-spatial-motor interventions, and (3) a control group (without any intervention).

Study concluded with enhanced reaction time and visual stamina and subsequently reduced the risk of falling to a large extent by enhancing the sensorimotor system of older adults by our new type of visuo-spatial- motor add-on to complement traditional omniscient physical training.
