About

Trinidad Valenzuela is a leading researcher in geriatric rehabilitation and fall prevention, with a focus on integrating cognitive and motor training to enhance mobility and safety in older adults. Her most cited work, a 2014 systematic review with 176 citations, critically examined interactive cognitive-motor training, demonstrating its potential to reduce fall risk by combining physical exercise with cognitive challenges. This seminal contribution has shaped evidence-based interventions for aging populations, bridging gaps between neuroscience and physiotherapy. Valenzuela’s research underscores the importance of dual-task paradigms in preserving functional independence, influencing clinical guidelines and rehabilitation programs worldwide. Her systematic approach has provided a robust framework for future studies, highlighting the synergistic benefits of cognitive engagement and physical activity. Beyond her high-impact review, Valenzuela continues to advance knowledge in geriatric health, advocating for innovative, accessible training methods that empower older individuals to maintain balance and quality of life. Her work remains a cornerstone for researchers and clinicians dedicated to mitigating fall-related risks in an aging society.
