Sponsor's own description
Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths globally, and the literature shows that 40% of community-dwelling older adults who are over 65 years old experience fall accidents annually. It also harms the well-being of the elderly, including the lack of access to daily services. Therefore, exercise interventions that target balance, gait, and muscle strength increase can effectively prevent falls in older adults. A fall prevention program that includes strength and balance training and patient education can improve muscle balance and mental capacity in older women with a history of falls. dimensions of abilities of the elderly are improved by exercise, such as dynamic balance, static balance, participants fear of falling, balance confidence, quality of life, and physical performance. The study will be a randomized clinical trial and will be conducted in Fatima Memorial Hospital, and Atif Rehab Clinic. The sample size is calculated from the open epi tool. Considering the attrition rate (10%) the sample size is calculated to be 36 altogether. This study will be completed in a time duration of 10 months after the approval of the synopsis. Non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used and participants will be recruited in the study after randomization through the lottery method. The subjects will be divided into two groups. Baseline treatment is isometric of the lower limb and bridging. Group A will receive balance training exercises using unstable surfaces and Group B will receive balance training exercises using stable surfaces. The tools that will be used are the Fall Efficacy scale-international (FES-I), Berg Balance Scale ((BBS), and ABC (Activities-Specific Balance Coordination) Scale, and after data collection, data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 26.
