Detailed Description
This study is designed to reduce the Fall and balance problems and increase the quality of life in older adults. Balance, which declines with aging, is a complex sensory-motor process in which the visual, vestibular, and musculoskeletal systems work cooperatively to produce postural stability and loss of balance control causes falls, resulting in severe injuries, such as fractures, causing longstanding pain, lower quality of life, disability, and even death.
Interventions include balance and postural control that can help older people to avoid falling, through tai chi methods, gait training, strengthening exercises, and balance training programs.
The Otago Exercise Program comprises muscle strength exercises, balance training, and walking. The Otago workout program is based on individual tolerance, consisting of strengthening, balance, walking, and aerobic activities, and can be done at home environment Action observation is a cognitive intervention training strategy that involves observing other people's performance in order to promote motor learning.
Participants were instructed to watch a video on a screen while comfortably seated in a chair with armrests. They were not allowed to follow along or engage in any movement while watching the video. After the watching video of each component of otago exercises the exercises performed by participant based on the content of the video.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Berg Balance Scale
Time Frame: Baseline to 12th week
|
The Berg Balance Scale is a testing tool with high validity and reliability used to measure balance.
A five-point ordinal scale, ranging from 0-4. "0" indicates the lowest level of function and "4" the highest level of function.
Total Score = 56.
Score 0-20(High Risk of Fall), 21-40(Moderate Risk of Fall) and 41-54(Low Rosk of Fall)
|
Baseline to 12th week
|
Time Up and Go test
Time Frame: Baseline to 12th week
|
The Timed Up and Go test is to identify mobility and balance impairments in older adults.
Score ≥12 seconds (Risk of Fall)
|
Baseline to 12th week
|
Functional Reach Test
Time Frame: Baseline to 12th week
|
The Functional Reach Test is a single item test developed as a quick screen for balance problems in older adults.
Score >6 inches (High Risk of Fall), 6-10 inches (Risk of Fall)
|
Baseline to 12th week
|
