Summary

This study aims to compare the effects of core stabilization exercises, an amplitude-based exercise program derived from LSVT BIG principles, and their combination on dynamic balance in community-dwelling healthy older adults aged 65 years and above. Secondary outcomes include functional mobility, fear of falling, reaction time, and quality of life.

Age-related declines in neuromuscular and sensory functions impair postural control and increase fall risk. While both core stabilization and amplitude-based exercises have shown beneficial effects, their comparative and combined effects in healthy older adults remain unclear. This study will determine whether the combined intervention provides additional benefits over single interventions.

Conditions

  • Balance Disorders
  • Aging

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Core Stabilization Exercises

A structured exercise program focusing on trunk muscle activation, spinal stability, and postural control.

BEHAVIORAL

Amplitude-Based Exercise (LSVT BIG)

An exercise program derived from LSVT BIG principles, emphasizing increased movement amplitude and functional mobility.

BEHAVIORAL

Combined Core and Amplitude-Based Exercise

A combined program including core stabilization exercises and amplitude-based exercises based on LSVT BIG principles.
