Summary

In the elderly risk of fall increased due to impaired balance and gait, cognitive impairment, sensory defects and reduced muscle strength. In this research, the aim of the study is to compare the effect of BRACE (balance, resistance, aerobic exercises and cognitive exercises) and BRE (balance resistance Exercises) on fall risk and mobility level in the elderly population. Randomized control trial study of 6 weeks follows up. The sample size is 40. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups: BRACE and BRE. The patients will get a supervised protocol for 3 days per week for 3 to 9 week. The measurement will be taken at baseline, after 3, 6 and 9 weeks. The study duration is of 8 months. Sampling technique will be purposive sampling and random assignment through the sealed envelope method. Individuals of age above 60 years, either gender with Berg balance score 20-40, MMSE will be included. Individuals with Musculoskeletal conditions (fractures, severe arthritis grade iii and i), Neurological conditions like Epilepsy, Parkinson and Other systemic diseases or co-morbidities will be excluded. Assessment tools will be MMSE, Berg balance scale, TUG, 6 minutes walk test. Data will be analyzed through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.
