About this study
Official title: The Effect of Modified Otago Exercise Program on Neurocognitive Level and Balance Parameters in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study examined the effect of an eight-week modified Otago Exercise Program on neurocognitive level and balance parameters in community-dwelling older adults.
Read the detailed description
Eighty-seven individuals aged 65 years and over were assigned to an intervention group (n=43) or a control group (n=44) through block randomization.
- Conditions
- Community-dwelling Older Adults, Neurocognitive Function of Elderly Patients, Functional Mobility, Fall Prevention in Healthy Aging
- Being tested
- Otago Exercise, Control

What participants receive

| Control | Active comparator | Daily routine Receives: Other: Control |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cognitive State Test
Cognitive State Test is a tool for the detailed screening of cognitive function. It is scored out of a total of thirty points. A high score corresponds to high cognitive performance.
Measured: Enrollment and the end of 8 week-intervention
Dynamic Balance Test
The Timed Up and Go Test was administered to assess dynamic balance. The time taken to complete the test was recorded; a shorter duration indicates good dynamic balance performance, whereas values exceeding 14 seconds are associated with an increased risk of falling.
Measured: Enrollment and the end of 8 week-intervention
Secondary outcomes (2)
Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale
It consists of fourteen five-point Likert-type items and yields scores ranging from fourteen to seventy. A high score indicates a high level of mental well-being.
Measured: Enrollment and at the end of the 8th week
Single-Leg Stance Test
One leg is lifted without touching the supporting leg, and the individual is expected to maintain their balance for thirty seconds; the duration is recorded in seconds.
Measured: Enrollment and at the end of the 8th week
