All studies were identified through databases, such as MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and PsycINFO (up to July 2024). The primary outcomes included balance, assessed using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and mobility, measured with the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) and 10-Meter Walk Test (10-MWT). Secondary outcomes included gait parameters (stride length and step length), the Functional Reach Test (FRT), the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), and the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I).
