Conditions

Balance; Distorted

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Berg Balance Scale

  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

  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

  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

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Short Form 36

  Baseline to 12th week
