Plain-language summary

The sequential square mat (SSM) Fisior® program is a novel functional gait training tool designed to enhance motor control, coordination, and strength through guided step sequences on a visual-tactile platform. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effects of incorporating the SSM Fisior® gait training program into routine physical activity workshops for older adults. Specifically, the study aims to assess its impact on skeletal muscle quantity, strength, and performance, as well as overall functional capacity, in a population of older adults attending a municipal community center (Centro Integral del Adulto Mayor, CIAM) in Lima, Peru.
