Detailed Description
Patients at group A: patients will receive Baduanjin Qigong exercise plus selected exercise. the subjects practiced Baduanjin exercise 3 times or above each week, 30- 60 minutes each time for 8 weeks. The subjects were required to complete the program in the fixed site and in a collective manner, with special personnel recording the attendance and providing guidance. The whole set of Baduanjin exercise consists of 9 postures: (1) ready position, (2) holding the hands high with palms up to regulate the internal organs, (3) posing like an archer shooting on left and right sides, (4) holding one arm aloft to regulate the functions of the spleen and stomach, (5) looking backwards to prevent sickness and strain, (6) swinging the head and lowering the body to relieve stress, (7) moving the hands down the back and legs and touching the feet to strengthen the kidneys, (8) thrusting the fists and making the eyes glare to enhance strength, and (9) raising and lowering the heels to cure diseases .
Selected Exercise Program: Patients will receive
- balance exercises 3 sessions a week for 8 weeks in the form of balance exercises and resisted exercises. Balance Exercises Each session of balance exercises is composed of three phases, including warm-up, balance training and cool down. The warm-up phase involved gentle stretching for calf, hamstring, quadriceps, iliopsoas muscles, as well as anterior, posterior and lateral step-ups for 5-10 minutes. The active phase was performed on a balance training mat of high-elasticity for 20 minutes. It included heel and toe raises, one-legged stance for each extremity, shifting weight anteriorly, posteriorly, laterally and diagonally. turning head to the right and then to the left with maintaining the feet together, walking in slow motion, step-ups, narrow walking, backward walking, sideward walking, stepping over obstacles, passing balls arranged on the training mat in a circle, and throwing and catching a ball on the training mat. The program ended with 5-10 minutes of cool down. During the cool-down phase, patients performed deep breathing exercises and static exercises for back extensor in a recumbent position.
- Resisted Exercises were given according to the standardized Oxford technique of progressive resistance exercises for hip flexors and extensor, knee extensors and flexors, and ankle dorsiflexors. The exercises' intensity was progressed as the following; week one: 50-60% of three repetition maximum (3RM), from 2nd -6th weeks: 70- 75% of 3RM and for 7th -8th weeks: 80-85% 3RM for 4- 10 repetitions ,3 sessions a week for 8 weeks.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
a. Chalder Fatigue Scale (ChFS).
Time Frame: 3months
|
The ChFS is a 14-item self-rating scale on the severity of physical fatigue (8 items) and mental fatigue symptoms (6 items).
A higher score is suggestive of greater severity of fatigue.
|
3months
|
b. The dynamic balance score
Time Frame: 3 months
|
c.
The dynamic balance score that was measured by the Biodex Balance System (Biodex Medical System, Shirley, NY, USA).
Biodex Balance System is a valid and reliable method to assess the dynamic balance.
The system has a movable circular platform that permits about 20◦ tilt in 360◦ range so it is free to move about the anterior-posterior and mediallateral directions simultaneously

b. The timed up and go (TUG) test
Time Frame: 3 months
|
e.
The timed up and go (TUG) test is a basic mobility assessment tool that records the time taken (in seconds) to get up from a chair, walk 3-meter distance, come back and sit down again on the chair
|
3 months
|
c. The Activities-specific Balance (ABC) scale
Time Frame: 3months
|
d.
The Activities-specific Balance (ABC) scale is a popular and subjective questionnaire to assess balance confidence and the risk of fall in people with balance problems.34
The ABC scale consisted of 16 items with a total score between 0% (not confident) to 100% (completely confident), where higher scores equate to higher balance confidence and vice versa.
The Arabic version of the ABC scale is reliable and valid in the assessment of balance confidence.

e. The OMNI scale
Time Frame: 3months
|
b.
The OMNI scale for Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) was utilized to monitor the subject's perceived effort during the fatigue protocol.
The OMNI scale quantifies perceived effort on a 0- 10 scale using a chart with 0 corresponding to "extremely easy" and 10 corresponding to "extremely hard."
The OMNI scale has previously been found to be a valid and reliable method of measuring effort in exercising adults
