简要总结
The study was conducted to investigate the effects of Otago Exercise Training and Square Stepping Exercise Training on balance and fear of falling in geriarthric individuals and the superiority of the two exercise training for these parameters. The volunteer individuals participating in the study were randomly divided into 3 groups as otago exercise group, square stepping exercise group and control group with equal number of men and women.
The individuals who participated in study had a homogeneous distribution in terms of age, gender, BMI, height, weight and occupational status in all three groups. However, the number of female individuals was higher in all three groups. In the study, individuals in the exercise training groups received square stepping and otago exercise training 3 days a week for 6 weeks, while individuals in the control group did not receive any training. All three groups were evaluated before and six weeks after the training.

研究组 & 干预措施
Square Stepping Exercise
It is performed on a thin exercise mat divided into 40 small squares of 250 cm x 100 cm. Individuals are basically required to step in the direction of the length without stepping on the lines forming the squares. Before the CAE training, there will be a 5 minutes warm-up and then a minute cool down period. A total of 18 stepping patterns are planned to be used (6 beginner, 6 intermediate, 6 advanced). Basically, a pattern will be repeated 3-5 times and then the mirror image pattern will be repeated the same number of times. However, if the participant has difficulty in practicing the pattern, it will be repeated until he/she learns it, and after practicing the pattern 3 times without any errors, the next pattern will be used.
干预措施: Square Stepping Exercise Training (Behavioral)
Otago Exercise Training
The exercises were performed 3 days a week for 6 weeks and 18 sessions of 60 minutes in total, including warm-up and cool-down periods of 5 minutes each session. It consists of a total of 22 exercises, including 5 warm-up movements, 5 strengthening exercises and 12 balance exercises.

结局指标
主要结局
Tinetti's International Fall Efficacy Scale
时间窗: 6 weeks
Asseses perception of balance and stability during activities of daily living. Assesses fear of falling in the elderly population. On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being very confident and 10 being not confident at all, how confident are you that you do the following activities without falling? Score: 1 = very confident 10 = not confident at all A total score of greater than 70 indicates that the person has a fear of falling.
