Summary

Aging leads to a gradual decline in muscle function and structural changes in the musculoskeletal system, which can affect balance and increase the risk of falls. This study aimed to assess the effects of thoracic mobility exercises on balance, exercise capacity, sleep quality, pain, and daily activities in 28 geriatric individuals (65+ years). Participants were divided into two groups: the Thoracic mobility exercises group performed conventional exercises with additional thoracic mobility exercises, while the Conventional physiotherapy exercises group did not.
