Background of the Study: As the global elderly population increases, maintaining and improving
balance becomes crucial for preventing falls and enhancing quality of life.
Physiotherapy plays a key role in balance training, utilizing various
techniques to improve stability.
Objective of the Study: To evaluate and compare the impact of the
Hemibridge technique with balance exercises and standard balance training
exercises on balance, stability, and functional mobility in elderly population.
Methodology: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 30 elderly
participants aged 60 years and above. Participants were divided into two
groups: Group A underwent the hemibridge technique combined with balance
exercises, while Group B performed standard balance training exercises. Both
interventions were administered for 6 weeks, with sessions conducted thrice
weekly. Outcomes were measured using validated tools like the Berg Balance
Scale (BBS) and post-intervention (6 weeks).
Result and Conclusion: The subject who where supervised to attend all
sessions were shown a difference in the BBS is -10.86. This study concludes
that hemibridge technique with balance exercise is more effective than the
standard balance exercise in improving balance and reducing fall risk.
