Summary

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of land based versus water based perturbation exercises on the pain, disability, fear of falling, and fear avoidance beliefs in elderly participants. Overweight/obese subgroup was compared with healthy weight with chronic low back pain participants to investigate any effect on BMI on both interventions. The results of the study revealed that both exercise groups i.e., land and water based exercise had a significant reduction in pain level, fear of falling, fear avoidance belief related to work, disability and improved SLR.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercises

Perturbation exercises: A new protocol of perturbation exercises aimed to disturb static and dynamic posture or equilibrium at primarily at body segments at hip and shoulder level were provided. The perturbation was initially started as anticipatory postural adjustment and progressed to compensatory postural adjustment, where stepping on various directions were challenged. The nature of perturbation or push or nudges applied by physiotherapists were progressed from a) self-generated to therapist applied, anticipated to unanticipated, stable to unstable platforms, static to dynamic postural tasks with loaded extremities and at higher level simple to higher cognitive tasks were also incorporated.
