Sponsor's own description
Human balance is a complex multidimensional concept related to postural control, and it refers essentially to the ability to maintain a posture (e.g., sitting or standing), move between postures, and not fall when reacting to an external disturbance. One-third to one-half of the population over age 65 reports some difficulty with balance or ambulation .Because of the high incidence of balance and mobility disorders in older adults, interventions are necessary that optimize the performance of balance- and mobility-related activities older adults . The aim of the current study will benefit clinicians and physiotherapists as it provide an insight to the benefits of balance training. The practical application of balance training will provide neurological advantages tothe geriatric population to allow lesser fall risk and postural instability. The study will be a non-blinded randomized control trial, consisting of two groups. Study will be conducted over 1 year. Subjects will be selected via a non-probability purposive sampling technique using a coin toss method, followed by randomization into two groups (A and B). Ethical approval will be obtained from the ERC FUMC. One group will receive Nintendo Wii Fit balance training while the second group will receive postural stability system training over 8 weeks. Baseline tests will be performed before and after the intervention for balance, postural stability, and sensory integration. Data will be entered and analyzed on SPSS version 22.
