Successful balance training is associated with improved multisensory function in fall-prone older adults

作者：

Highlights：

• 76 older adults received a 5 week balance training intervention/control condition.

• Training improved functional balance and postural control.

• Improved balance control correlated with enhanced multisensory processing.

• This correlation was found for fall-prone older adults only.
