Assessment

Primary outcomes

The primary outcome is the change from baseline to 5 weeks after intervention in standing forward reach ability, as measured by the Functional Reach Test (FRT).

Key secondary outcomes

Secondary outcomes include changes from baseline in the 10-meter walk test (10mWT) and the Short Falls Efficacy Scale International (Short FES-I) following the 5-week intervention, as well as the incidence of adverse events (AEs) during the intervention period.AEs are defined as deaths, life-threatening illnesses, injuries requiring prolonged hospitalization, or injuries resulting in permanent disability that occur during the study period; all such events are included, regardless of whether a causal relationship with the intervention exists.

Interventions/Control_1

Positive feedback Intervention for standing forward reach ability

In the experimental group, FRT will be performed during the 5-week intervention period, and positive feedback will be provided based on the results. The intervention will take place once every three days, for a total of 12 sessions during the intervention period.

Interventions/Control_2

Assessment of standing forward reach ability only

The control group will also perform FRT during the 5-week intervention period. However, no positive feedback will be provided regarding the results. The intervention will take place once every three days, for a total of 12 sessions during the intervention period.
