Summary

The aim of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trail to compare and analyze the effects of both whole body vibrator (WBV) and proprioceptive training through Tai Chi program on static and dynamic postural balance variables of the elderly population. The purpose of the study is to determine that whether whole body vibrator is more evident or proprioceptive training is more effective for promoting functional independency and improving balance in older adults. Hence distinguishing choices to prevent fall and advancing functional independency by using the appropriate intervention without using extreme loads.

Conditions

  • Elderly Population

Interventions

OTHER

Whole body vibration group

WBV will be provided with a frequency of 6-26Hz with amplitude of 1-3mm 4-5 bouts(60 sec each) for 3 times a week

OTHER

Bilateral proprioceptive training

Static balance training will be provided in first week for 3-4 times for 10 mints of single session. 3 times a week In 2nd and 3rd week dynamic balance training for 3 times with a session of 10 mints. In 4th week progressive balance training will be done with same frequency and duration. Tai chai exercises will be given for 20 mints 3 times a week
