简要总结
Aim: To investigate the efficacy of WBV on balance and mobility in older adults through a dosimetry study. By systematically varying the dosimetry parameters, we will evaluate the impact of different WBV protocols on balance and mobility outcomes in older adults.The significance of this research lies in its potential to enhance balance and mobility, contribute to non-pharmacological interventions, address dosimetry considerations, prevent falls, and promote evidence-based practice. Methodology: It will be a prospective dosimetry study, including the elderly (60 years of age and older, both males and females). The participants will be screened for having a minimum to moderate risk of falls using a short Falls Efficacy Scale and Mini-mental Status Examination.Results will be reported for all the outcome measures at baseline and post-intervention at 6th week from baseline.
