Abstract: In older ages, the people are affected by limitations referring to physical and cognitive functions of the body. These limitations can lead to falls, which can be prevented by different types of physical training. Some studies showed that different kinds of physical activity have a positive effect on the equilibrium as well as on cognitive function. During a project an individualized computer-based training was developed. The developed application was examined during a pilot study in a local nursing home. The results indicate that the training intervention based on the computer-based training has a positive effect on different parameters (balance, TUG test). The limitation of the pilot study is the small sample size, which is additionally reduced due to dropouts. In further studies the effect of a balance training with the computer-based training will be done in other nursing homes.
