Effects of BRACE Protocol on Fall Risk Among Elderly Population

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the effects of Balance Resistance Aerobic Cognitive Exercises (BRACE) and Otago's exercises on fall risk among elderly population. And to determine the effects of BRACE and Otago's exercise on static and Dynamic balance in elderly population. the study will be randomized control trial including experimental and control group with estimated 17 individual in each group. Balance resistance aerobic resistance exercises will be performed by experimental group and Otago's protocol will be performed by control group.

Clinical Trial Description

Balance control is the foundation of a person's ability to move and function independently. However, balance control declines with age, and impaired balance is a major risk factor for falls among older adults. Training balance during dual-task conditions appears to be necessary to improve balance control under situations with divided attention. Balance training program for older adults, including dual- and multi-task exercises, was designed and developed based on well-established principles of exercise and on the knowledge that balance control relies on the interaction of several physiological systems, as well as interaction with environmental factors and the performed task. Many studies reported that prevention of fall is possible by adopting a healthy lifestyle, environmental modification, exercise and education. Exercise plays a very important role in fall prevention e.g exercise and tai chi training target balance, flexibility and strength can reduce fall and harm related to fall. Although it does not show a marked difference enjoyable exercise program training is beneficial to achieve healthy outcomes. A new tool has been designed for fall risk reduction and to mobility in elderly is BRACE (Balance, Resistance, Aerobic, Cognition Exercises). Limited work was done on BRACE protocol so in this study we will do further work on this innovative protocol. The aim of our study is to compare the effects of Balance Resistance Aerobic Cognitive Exercises (BRACE) and Otago's exercises on mobility and fall risk reduction in the elderly ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
