Detailed Description

RCT study was conducted. Fourty four healthy elderly volunteers aged from 65 years to 75 years were assigned to a group 1 (n=22) engaging in vestibular visual cues exercises and group 2 (n=22) engaging in proprioception exercises. Training sessions (~30 minutes each) occurred twice a week for consecutive six weeks. The following parameters were analyzed before and after training for both groups: Berg balance scale (BBS) and Clinical test of sensory organization and balance (CTSIB).

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: vestibular visual cues therapy
Pelvic rolling to right and left with head movement and stop first on right side for 3 minutes. Do this exercise in front of the mirror.Anterior, posterior, left, and right rectilinear stimulation activities on a therapeutic ball. Anterior, posterior, left and right rectilinear movements were performed for five minutes
Other: vestibular visual cues therapy

Active Comparator: propriocetion therapy

Alternate knee flexion-extension with extended trunk posture using both hands for support.

Hip and knee flexion-extension with swiss ball between the back and wall.

Hip aises lying with their back on the floor with both legs on the swiss ball. Upper limbs leaning on the floor to help with the exercises.

then perform all exercise on gym ball
Other: propriocetion exercise
  1. Alternate knee flexion-extension with extended trunk posture using both hands for support.
  2. Hip and knee flexion-extension with swiss ball between the back and wall.
  3. Hip raises lying with their back on the floor with both legs on the swiss ball. Upper limbs leaning on the floor to help with the exercises. then all exercise are perfomed on gym ball

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Berg balance scale
Time Frame: 2 months

The Berg Balance Scale (or BBS) is a widely used clinical test of a person's static and dynamic balance abilities, named after Katherine Berg, one of the developers. For functional balance tests, the BBS is generally considered to be the gold standard.[3]

The test takes 15-20 minutes and comprises a set of 14 simple balance related tasks, ranging from standing up from a sitting position, to standing on one foot. The degree of success in achieving each task is given a score of zero (unable) to four (independent), and the final measure is the sum of all of the scores
2 months
Clinical test of sensory organization and balance (CTSIB
Time Frame: 2 months
nical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance (CTSIB) is a tool that assesses a person's ability to use sensory inputs for balance. The original test included 6 conditions: (1) standing with eyes open on a firm surface, (2) standing with eyes closed on a firm surface, (3) standing with a visual conflict dome on a firm surface, (4)
