Brain Boot Camp: The Effect of Multi-Sensory Training on Physical Function in Older Adults

<bold>Background:</bold> Age-associated declines in physical function may lead to mobility limitations which are associated with a loss of independence, decreased quality of life, and higher risk of mortality. It is clear from multiple studies that an older adults physical function can be modified through physical activity. However, there is emerging evidence that physical activity interventions designed to improve physical function may be more effective if they can be tailored to an individuals baseline level of functioning and include simultaneous training of physical and cognitive functioning.
