A Comparative Study on the Effects of Task Oriented Balance Training Program with or without Altered Sensory Input on Balance and Functional Performance in Older Adults : A Case Control Study

Background and purpose: This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of task oriented balance training program with altered sensory input versus without input. helps us choose a better for improving reducing risk fall in elderly population Subjects: Fourty eight older adults from independent life-care communities, aged 71 75 years (X = 79.2, SD 6.2), participated.Methods: Patients were divided into group A B. Group received Task while B receiving Subjects then assessed on scale – Berg (BBS) Functional performance measure Ten meter walk test (10MWT).Results: There significant improvement BBS 10MWT patients performed than input.Conclusion: Although obtained results reveal that subjects both groups benefitted interventions post intervention scores functional measure, ie.10 test, The may be as result increased use somatosensory. And this compensation might have improved sensorimotor integration postural control central nervous system, thus serving activate coordinate motor processes i.e. action proper muscle synergies.
