Fifteen randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included in the review.

Of the 15 studies, 10 reported positive effects on both physical and mental outcomes, while the remaining five studies showed either no effect or a lack of positive results. The interventions evaluated included Tai Chi (TC), Tango, aerobic training (AT), resistance training (RT), combined training (CT), virtual reality (VR), resistance training plus standard pharmacological treatment (RTG + pharmacological treatment), high-speed treadmill training, brisk walking, and multimodal exercise program (MEP). Notably, there are six items of TC intervention. Most interventions lasted for 12 weeks with sessions conducted twice a week, each lasting between 30 and 60 minutes. Additionally, limited studies (one per indicator) assessed strength, functional gait assessment (FGA), and center of pressure (COP), indicating a need for more research in these areas.
