Water Versus Land Based Perturbation Exercises in Elderly Participants

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of land based versus water based perturbation exercises on the pain, disability, fear of falling, and fear avoidance beliefs in elderly participants. Overweight/obese subgroup was compared with healthy weight with chronic low back pain participants to investigate any effect on BMI on both interventions. The results of the study revealed that both exercise groups i.e., land and water based exercise had a significant reduction in pain level, fear of falling, fear avoidance belief related to work, disability and improved SLR.

Clinical Trial Description

Twenty-four grouped into 12 per group participated water based and land based exercise protocol. Both groups were given McKenzie Method of exercises in 1st week based on the treatment-based classification (TBC) approach or personalized to the need of participants as per TBC. Perturbation-based postural exercises were given to participants, which were performed on land or water for 6 weeks. The perturbation based exercises were categorized into four levels, where level 1:static postural control, 2:dynamic postural control 3:Extremity loaded postural control and 4: cognitive task associated postural control. The perturbation were provided at shoulder and hip level, by intervention providers progressive enough to initiate anticipatory or compensatory postural adjustments. Both groups were educated on pain assurance and spinal ergonomics feedback. The Outcomes were measured using a Visual analog scale, Oswestry disability index, Fear avoidance belief questionnaire, Straight leg raise, Modified fall efficacy scale, and Borg scale. The pain level were assessed for personalized progression from level 1 to level 4 progression of perturbation exercises. Both the exercise groups of land and water showed improvement in measured clinical outcomes in terms of reduction in pain level, fear of falling, fear avoidance belief related to work, SLR, and disability. Water-based group showed additional benefits and significant improvement in fear avoidance belief related to physical activity and exercised with low rate of perceived exertion. ;

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.
