Summary
Study Design: Randomized Clinical Trial Objective: To find the effects of Progressive Resistance Exercises for balance and risk of falls in elderly population.
To find the effects of Functional Training for balance and risk of falls in elderly population.
To compare the effects of Progressive Resistance Exercises and Functional Training for balance and risk of falls in elderly population.
Inclusion Criteria:
Both Males and Female Patients Patients Age 65 years or above Participants with intact cognitive function or mild cognitive impairment who can follow instructions and provide informed consent Individuals medically cleared by their physician to engage in moderate-intensity physical activities, with no unstable medical conditions that could impede participation Participants willing to commit to an 8-week intervention program (3 sessions per week) and attend follow-ups as required.
Exclusion Criteria:
Elderly individuals who are non-ambulatory or unable to perform basic mobility tasks, such as standing or walking independently, even with assistive devices.
Uncontrolled medical conditions such as uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, or severe arrhythmias.
Participants with severe musculoskeletal conditions that significantly limit mobility or exercise participation (e.g., severe arthritis, recent fractures, or joint replacements within the last 6 months).
Presence of acute pain or injury that may worsen with physical activity. Individuals with progressive neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, stroke with severe residual deficits, or multiple sclerosis that impede safe participation in physical activities.
Group 1: Progressive Resistance Exercises Participants in the Progressive Resistance Training (PRT) group will engage in a structured exercise program designed to progressively increase muscle strength, balance, and overall physical function.
Group 2: Functional Training Participants in the Functional Training (FT) group will engage in exercises that mimic daily activities to improve balance, strength, mobility, and functional independence.
