Effects of Sensory Motor Training on Balance and Proprioception Among Post-Menopausal Obese Women

March 29, 2021 updated by: Riphah International University

Postmenopausal obese women often have difficulties with balance and proprioception. Sensorimotor training is an important part of physical therapy interventions, with emerging evidence that it could be beneficial for postmenopausal obese women.

Objective: To find the impact of sensorimotor training on balance and proprioception among postmenopausal obese women.

Detailed Description

Randomized clinical trial was conducted on postmenopausal obese women population with impaired balance and proprioception on inclusion & exclusion criteria, sample size of 40, ages ranged from 45 to 65 years included. Group A received SMT and Group B received CT. The interval of treatment was 6 weeks. Data is collected from THQ Samundri. FRT, TUG, OLS utilized to assess the pre-and post-estimations of postural strength.

Sensorimotor training exercises include wall slides , core exercises (Planks, leg raises, crunches, bridging) balance exercises (single leg side lift, leg lift with dumble, balance on stability ball) on unstable surface for 50-60 min (3 sets of 10 rep) of exercises and gait training (different patterns of walking).
Other: Sensorimotor training exercises
