Three different tests from the Senior Fitness Test were used in order to test a variety of health parameters of the community-dwelling elderly, including those parameters related to fall prevention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighteen community-dwelling elderly individuals (63\u201395 years of age; mean, 83.2 years of age) were assessed in one intervention group without the use of a control group. The intervention group performed nine group sessions (1\u20131.5 hours each) of playful training with the modular interactive tiles over a 12-week period in two community activity centers for the elderly. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests of the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), the 8-foot Timed Up &amp; Go Test (TUG), and the Chair-Stand Test (CS). Data were analyzed for statistically significant differences and increases of means.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The 6MWT, TUG, and CS measurements showed statistically significant differences and increases of means between the pre-tests and post-tests with the 6MWT (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;0.001) (means difference, 22.4 percent), TUG (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;0.001) (means difference, 15 percent), and CS (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;0.002) (means difference, 14 percent).
