Summary

Falls are a significant public health concern for older adults; early identification of people at high risk for falling facilitates the provision of rehabilitation treatment to reduce future fall risk. Berg balance scale is a reliable, valid and widely used tool to measure balance. Normal values of BBS declines with increasing age above 70 at a rate of 0.75 points per year. Timed up and go test Assess mobility, balance, falls risk. Normative data on both these test for our population is not established. Therefore this study aimed at finding normal scores of both these in our community-dwelling elderly females. For this purpose, data will be calculated from community-dwelling elderly females. BBS and TUG would be performed on each subject meeting our inclusion criteria after their consent. Data will be recorded and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. We will find the mean and standard deviation. Thus this study will provide normal reference values of BBS and TUG in our community
