Otago Exercises and Otago Exercise Effects on Elderly Population

Study aims to investigate the profound impact of exer gaming on normal aged individuals within our society. Additionally, to compare the effects of exer gaming-based exercises and Otago exercises on crucial aspects such as balance, physical performance, and gait pattern among the normal aged population. This study holds immense significance as it has the potential to greatly improve the health and wellbeing of the elderly population. By identifying an efficacious physical therapy intervention to address the complications associated with balance, physical performance, and gait pattern, we can effectively mitigate further dysfunctions in this demographic.

Treatment and study plan

Otago Exercise + Exer gaming

Other

In this group the participant will receive otago exercises and exer-gaming based exercises. The duration of each session this group will receive is of 60 minutes A total of 12 sessions will be held, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Reading will be taken on baseline, after 2 week

exer gaming based programme

Other

In this group the participant will receive exer-gaming based exercises. The duration of each session this group will receive is of 60 minutes A total of 12 sessions will be held, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Reading will be taken on baseline, after 2 weeks and then after 4 weeks.

Primary outcomes

  1. Berg balance scale

    Time frame: 4th week

    Consists of 14 tasks and total score of 56.score of 0-20 indicates severe fall risk, 20-45 includes moderate risk of fall and 45-60 illustrates thr functional balances state.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time Up and Go (TUG)

    Time frame: 4th week

    The TUG test is a simple assessment used to evaluate a person's mobility and balance. It measures the time it takes for an individual to stand up from a seated position, walk a short distance (typically 3 meters), turn around, walk back, and sit down again. This test is often used to assess the risk of falls among older adults

  2. dynamic gait index

    Time frame: 4th week

    Assess the likelihood of falling in older adults.total score is of 24.score less than 19 is predictive of fall risks.

  3. 10 Meter Walk Test (10MWT)

    Time frame: 4th week

    The 10MWT is a clinical assessment used to measure an individual's walking speed over a 10-meter distance. It is often used to assess gait and mobility, as well as to track changes in a person's walking abilities over time.

  4. Montreal Cognitive Assessment

    Time frame: 4th week

    Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a cognitive assessment tool used to screen for mild cognitive impairment. It assesses various cognitive functions, including memory, attention, language, and visuospatial abilities. It consists of tasks and questions that provide a total score, with lower scores indicating potential cognitive deficits.
