Actual (reported)Functional limitation and balance deficits occur with aging in normal healthy individuals due to decline in muscle strength. Muscle strengthening exercises and balance training has shown improvement of functional status of elderly. And whole body vibrations along with strengthen and balance training has been suggested to reduce the effects of aging in balance and functional abilities. Aim of this study was to find out the additional effects of whole body vibration along with balance training in older adults. It was a Randomized Control Trial Study. Study setting was railway general hospital Rawalpindi. Inclusion Criteria was Age 50 to 70 years old people, with moderate fall risk (BBS Score 21-40), both genders with Controlled diabetes and HTN, 112 Subjects were randomly and equally allocated to experimental group(n=56) and control group(n=56) through toss and coin method. Participants in both groups were examined for balance abilities with the Berg Balance Scale, Functional Independence Scale, \& Timed up and Go Test (TUG) before and after 4 weeks treatment protocol.

Actual (reported)Change from Baseline in Berg Balance Scale score
14 item scale was established for elder population to asses balance deficits in them. The score of each item ranges from zero to four, zero being the last point and 4 being the highest point the total score for these 14 items were 56.
Baseline and 4 week
Change from Baseline in Functional Independence Scale score
It consist of eighteen item; for motor items score 13 and five for cogitation which includes communication and cognition, each of the value is scored on a 7-point scale
Baseline and 4 week
Change from Baseline in Timed Up and Go test
Define fall threat and assess the improvement of balance, sit to stand and walking.
Baseline and 4 week
Balance and muscle strengthening exercises with whole-body vibration, strengthening exercise included straight leg raise with weights, and balance training including walking heel to toe for 20 steps vibration exposure was given in 1-minute bouts, with rest period of one to two minutes between bouts, with the exposure whole body vibration for about four minutes on every session. The duration of vibration exposure was preset with the automatic set time intervals in the vibration machine Prior to each vibration bout. When the predefined time was reached the machine automatically turned off . Based on previous researches the total exposure of four minutes per session interval was selected. In this study frequency of 30Hz (4 weeks), with 0.9 mm vertical displacement was used.
Balance and strengthening exercises includes straight leg raise with weights 10 reps. and tandem walk 20 steps 3 days in week for 4 weeks
