Summary

This research aimed to explore the comparative effects of static and dynamic balance training on postural stability and activity-specific balance confidence among elderly individuals diagnosed with locomotive syndrome. A single-blinded, randomized clinical trial was conducted at a shelter home, where thirty participants between the ages of 60 and 75 were randomly assigned to two intervention groups. One group received static balance exercises, while the other group engaged in dynamic balance training. Both interventions were delivered three times per week over a six-week period. Standardized assessment tools, including the Y-Balance Test and the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale, were used to evaluate outcomes related to balance and self- perceived confidence in performing daily activities. The study was designed to determine the more effective approach for enhancing mobility and promoting independence in the elderly population affected by locomotive syndrome.

Conditions

  • Locomotive Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Static Exercise Intervention

Static exercises generally involve maintaining a fixed position without movement-such as standing on one leg or holding a specific posture-emphasizing isometric muscle control and stability.

PROCEDURE

(Dynamic Exercises Group

Dynamic exercises were structured across three progressive stages-basic, moderate, and advanced-each increasing in complexity and difficulty. These exercises were performed in various positions, including sitting, standing, and walking.
