Официальное название

Comparison of Otago and Kitchen Sink Balance Exercises on Strength, Fall Risk and Functional Mobility on Elderly.

Обзор

The objective of the study is to determine the comparative effects of Otago Exercise Program and Kitchen Sink Balance Exercises on strength, fall risk and functional mobility on elderly. This study would include total 56 participants which would be divided into two groups, 28 each. Convenience Sampling will be used and randomly assigned into two groups through sealed envelope method. Intervention Group A received Otago Exercise Program and Group B received Kitchen Sink Balance Exercises. Both groups received intervention for 45 minutes per session, 3 times a week, and for a total of 8 weeks. Assessment was done at the baseline, after 4 weeks and after 8 weeks.

Подробное описание

Issues with balance are a leading cause of falls and are associated with enhanced fear of falling and also reduced the confidence in balance. The decline in balance with age is a complex process involving the body's systems like visual, vestibular, and musculoskeletal systems that working together to maintain the posture stability. Exercise is commonly recommended to enhance balance, muscle strength, and mobility in older individuals. The Otago Exercise Program (OEP) is a proven and well developed intervention that integrates balance and strengthening exercises with walking that tailored for older adults living independently in the community. Exercises at the Kitchen Sink balance program is also effective exercise program designed to prevent falls among older adults and helps to improve balance, increases strength, endurance and flexibility in elderly population. Therefore, we conduct this research to find out the comparative effects of Otago Exercise Program and Kitchen Sink Balance Exercises on strength, fall risk and functional mobility on elderly. It could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of these interventions for improving balance and reducing risk of falls in elderly population. This research could also help to identify the most effective rehabilitation strategies for elderly individuals with balance problems, ultimately improving their quality of life and reducing healthcare costs associated with falls and balance-related injuries.
