Effects of Sensory Motor Training on Balance and Proprioception Among Post-Menopausal Obese Women

Postmenopausal obese women often have difficulties with balance and proprioception. Sensorimotor training is an important part of physical therapy interventions, with emerging evidence that it could be beneficial for postmenopausal obese women.

Objective: To find the impact of sensorimotor training on balance and proprioception among postmenopausal obese women.

About this study

Randomized clinical trial was conducted on postmenopausal obese women population with impaired balance and proprioception on inclusion & exclusion criteria, sample size of 40, ages ranged from 45 to 65 years included. Group A received SMT and Group B received CT. The interval of treatment was 6 weeks. Data is collected from THQ Samundri. FRT, TUG, OLS utilized to assess the pre-and post-estimations of postural strength.

Treatment and study plan

Sensorimotor Training Exercises

Other

Sensorimotor training exercises include wall slides , core exercises (Planks, leg raises, crunches, bridging) balance exercises (single leg side lift, leg lift with dumble, balance on stability ball) on unstable surface for 50-60 min (3 sets of 10 rep) of exercises and gait training (different patterns of walking

Without Sensorimotor training exercises

Other

Cut back on high-fat foods. Drink plenty of water Use sugar and salt in moderation. Eat fruits and vegetables Get enough calcium Pump up your iron. Get enough fiber

Primary outcomes

  1. Functional Reach Test (FRT)

    Time frame: 2 months

    Functional Reach Test (FRT) is a clinical outcome measure used to asses dynamic balance in one simple task.

  2. Time Up and Go Test (TUG)

    Time frame: 2 months

    Time Up and Go test is used to assess the individual's mobility, static and dynamic balance walking ability and risk of fall among older adults. Intratester and intertester reliability (ICC) in elderly populations

  3. One Leg Stance Test (OLS)

    Time frame: 2 months

    The Single leg Stance (SLS) Test is used to evaluate static postural and balance control with one eye open and standing on one leg
