Comparison of Effects of Vestibular Visual Cues and Proprioception To Improve Postural Control in Elderly
- Conditions
- Older Adults
- Registration Number
- NCT04824196
- Lead Sponsor
- Riphah International University
- Brief Summary
Background/Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of vestibular visual cues and propriception to improve postural control in elderly.
- Detailed Description
RCT study was conducted. Fourty four healthy elderly volunteers aged from 65 years to 75 years were assigned to a group 1 (n=22) engaging in vestibular visual cues exercises and group 2 (n=22) engaging in proprioception exercises. Training sessions (\~30 minutes each) occurred twice a week for consecutive six weeks. The following parameters were analyzed before and after training for both groups: Berg balance scale (BBS) and Clinical test of sensory organization and balance (CTSIB).

Name Time Method Berg balance scale 2 months The Berg Balance Scale (or BBS) is a widely used clinical test of a person's static and dynamic balance abilities, named after Katherine Berg, one of the developers. For functional balance tests, the BBS is generally considered to be the gold standard.\[3\]
The test takes 15-20 minutes and comprises a set of 14 simple balance related tasks, ranging from standing up from a sitting position, to standing on one foot. The degree of success in achieving each task is given a score of zero (unable) to four (independent), and the final measure is the sum of all of the scoresClinical test of sensory organization and balance (CTSIB 2 months nical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance (CTSIB) is a tool that assesses a person's ability to use sensory inputs for balance. The original test included 6 conditions: (1) standing with eyes open on a firm surface, (2) standing with eyes closed on a firm surface, (3) standing with a visual conflict dome on a firm surface, (4)
