Effects of Balance Training on Fall Risk and Mobility in the Elderly
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Warm Up, Conventional Balance Training, and 1 other intervention for Fall. Completed, enrolled 105 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Pakistan is a country devoid of health-care facilities and training programs on fall prevention. There is lack of research, awareness and implication of geriatric rehabilitation on elderly population addressing balance and fall risk assessment however very few cross-sectional studies of poor quality evidence are available on this issue. To best of investigators' knowledge, no interventional studies have been conducted in our country so far on this topic. . We aim to use a integrated method of balance training that uses patients judgment, visual feedback, proprioception and balance training with the help of new technology/devices to improve balance. And compare it to conventional treatment. We also aim to assess risk factors of fall in geriatric population, decreasing risks of falls and increasing awareness regarding geriatric rehabilitation and balance training.
