3. Categories of exercise.

We categorised exercise interventions of included studies based on the taxonomy of exercise interventions developed by ProFaNE (Lamb 2006) and included eight categories:  
  • Gait, balance, co‐ordination and functional tasks

  • Strengthening (including resistance or power training)

  • 3D (including Tai Chi, qi gong, dance, yoga)

  • General physical activity (walking)

  • General physical activity (cycling)

  • Computerised balance training using visual feedback

  • Vibration platform used as intervention

  • Multiple intervention types (combinations of the above)
