aceComparison of the effects of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and traditional balance training programs on balance and gait in older adults
Purpose: With ageing, the ability to maintain balance and gait declines, leading to falls and reduced independence. This trial compared an AI-generated, human-delivered exercise program (ChatGPT-4o), a virtual reality (VR) exergaming program, and a traditional balance (TB) training program on balance and gait in older adults residing in retirement homes. Materials and methods: In this stratified, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial, 48 older adults aged 60-75 years were allocated 1:1:1 to VR (Xbox Kinect…
An exercise program generated by ChatGPT-4o and delivered by an instructor produced greater gait-speed gains than traditional balance training and the largest reduction in Gait Stability Ratio among older adults.
The trial enrolled only 48 adults aged 60-75 living in retirement homes, and the AI program was generated by ChatGPT-4o but delivered by a human instructor, so results may not generalise to other populations or to unsupervised AI use.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2331 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
