Overview
Brief Summary
The sleep disorders are common among older adults and comprises of wide spectrum of the sleep related issues like poor sleep quality, sleep deprivation and excessive day time sleepiness.
Detailed Description
Earlier studies were carried to determine the effect of sleep deprivation on the postural control parameters. The effect of poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness on the postural control were not widely studied. Aim : To determine the effect of the sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness on the postural stability during quiet standing and whether this influence vary based on the availability of the visual feedback.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Postural stability using STABLE platform
Time Frame: "Immediately after enrollment"
The Postural stability of the participants was assessed using STABLE by Motek medical that made in Netherlands. During each trial, participants were made to stand quietly for 30 seconds on the platform of STABLE with open eyes first and after that with closed eyes "Individuals should initially complete two sessions of test with open eyes, then followed with closed eyes".
