Enhancing anticipation control of the posture system in the elderly wearing stroboscopic glasses.

This was a single-session experiment, not a longitudinal training study. It cannot show whether these neural and postural changes persist or lead to learning. The participants were healthy, recreationally active older adults with no history of falls or neurological disorders. Results may not apply to frail or fall-prone patients. The study measured immediate physiological responses (sway, EEG) rather than clinical outcomes like fall rates or functional balance scores. The interpretation of 'open-loop control' benefits is theoretical; the study did not test if this mechanism actually improves balance recovery in real-world perturbations.

The authors declared no competing interests. The study was supported by non-U.S. government funding.

Do not interpret the increased open-loop control as evidence that stroboscopic glasses improve balance in clinical practice. This was a single-session lab study measuring immediate sway and brain activity in healthy older adults, not a trial of a training program's effect on fall prevention.
