Effect of Flamingo Exercises on Balance

Effect of Flamingo Exercises on Balance in Patients With Balance Impairment Due to Senile Osteoarthritis

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of flamingo exercise on balance in patients with balance impairment due to senil osteoarthritis

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Osteoarthritis; Gait Disorders, Neurologic
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: training with kinesthetic ability trainer; Other: Flamingo exercise

Detailed Description

Changes in the sensory, neurological, and musculoskeletal systems in older adults affect several motor tasks,including postural balance. Also osteoarthritis contribute to this process. Older people can gain balance disorders. The flamingo balance exercise is a full lower body workout utilizing many major muscle groups. Therefore investigators aimed to determine the effect of flamingo exercise combined with kinesthetic ability trainer or alone in patients with balance impairment due to osteoarthritis
