About this study
Official title: Additional Effects of Otago Exercises With Exer-gaming on Balance, Physical Performance and Gait Among the Elderly Population
Study aims to investigate the profound impact of exer gaming on normal aged individuals within our society. Additionally, to compare the effects of exer gaming-based exercises and Otago exercises on crucial aspects such as balance, physical performance, and gait pattern among the normal aged population. This study holds immense significance as it has the potential to greatly improve the health and wellbeing of the elderly population. By identifying an efficacious physical therapy intervention to address the complications associated with balance, physical performance, and gait pattern, we can effectively mitigate further dysfunctions in this demographic.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Berg balance scale
Consists of 14 tasks and total score of 56.score of 0-20 indicates severe fall risk, 20-45 includes moderate risk of fall and 45-60 illustrates thr functional balances state.
Measured: 4th week
Secondary outcomes (4)
Time Up and Go (TUG)
The TUG test is a simple assessment used to evaluate a person's mobility and balance. It measures the time it takes for an individual to stand up from a seated position, walk a short distance (typically 3 meters), turn around, walk back, and sit down again. This test is often used to assess the risk of falls among older adults
Measured: 4th week
dynamic gait index
Assess the likelihood of falling in older adults.total score is of 24.score less than 19 is predictive of fall risks.
Measured: 4th week
10 Meter Walk Test (10MWT)
The 10MWT is a clinical assessment used to measure an individual's walking speed over a 10-meter distance. It is often used to assess gait and mobility, as well as to track changes in a person's walking abilities over time.
Measured: 4th week
Montreal Cognitive Assessment
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a cognitive assessment tool used to screen for mild cognitive impairment. It assesses various cognitive functions, including memory, attention, language, and visuospatial abilities. It consists of tasks and questions that provide a total score, with lower scores indicating potential cognitive deficits.
Measured: 4th week
