The analysis of plantar tactile sensitivity, specifically in the forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot, and right and left whole foot regions in the control, conventional, and exergame groups at T0 showed that the variables did not show significant differences between the groups, indicating that the three groups had similar characteristics at the baseline of the study (The comparisons between T0 and T1 in the control group showed a significant difference in the tactile sensitivity of the hindfoot R, midfoot L, hindfoot L, and whole foot L, indicating that, at the end of the period evaluated, the older women in this group presented significantly lower values in these regions, which characterized a worsening of the plantar tactile sensitivity (The comparisons between T0 and T1 in the conventional group showed a significant difference in all variables, except for the tactile sensitivity of the forefoot R, indicating that, at the end of the treatment, the older women in this group presented significantly higher values, characterizing an improvement in the plantar tactile sensitivity of both feet, especially in the left foot (The comparisons between T0 and T1 in the exergame group showed a difference in the tactile sensitivity of the forefoot R, whole foot R, forefoot L, and whole foot L, indicating that, at the end of the treatment, the older women in this group presented significantly higher values in these regions, which characterized an improvement in the plantar tactile sensitivity of both feet (The comparative analysis of the changes in the plantar tactile sensitivity variables showed significant differences between the groups. For the tactile sensitivity of the hindfoot R, whole foot R, forefoot L, hindfoot L, and whole foot L, the results showed a better effect of conventional and exergame training when compared to the control group. Regarding the sensitivity of the forefoot R, there was a better effect in the exergame training compared to the control group. As for the sensitivity of the midfoot R and L, there was a better effect in conventional training compared to the control group (Among all the variables studied, no significant differences were observed between the conventional and exergame groups, indicating a similar effect of the two types of training on the plantar tactile sensitivity of both feet. Regarding the effect size, the results indicate an effect that is classified as large for all the variables studied (0.141–0.295) (
