Effect Of Motor Dual Task Training As Compared To Conventional Balance Training On Balance And Quality Of Life In Elderly Fallers - A Randomized Control Trial.

One of the most common occurrences in older adults is fall that leads to serious injuries. This leads to public health issues in elderly by hampering their functional activity. Daily activities include dynamic functional tasks that require combined motor tasks. In people with altered balance combined motor dual activity will be hampered. Many studies show the positive effects of dual task training on balance but they have not reviewed more of the motor component. Motor component of dual task training seems to be not much explored in the elderly fallers. Outcome Measures to be used are Community Balance and Mobility Scale for Balance and WHOQOL-BREF for Quality of Life at baseline and after 4 weeks. Randomized Control Trial will be done on 84 participants where they will be given same set of exercises for same duration with the interventional group carrying a glass of water on a tray. Research Hypothesis states that motor dual task training will be more effective than conventional balance exercises on balance and quality of life in elderly fallers.
