“…Similar balance exercises incorporating semi-compressible foam rollers have shown to significantly improve dynamic balance. [25] Previous authors have used components of the multi-element exercise program in this study and reported favourable findings. The tissue-specific stretching exercise first reported by DiGiovanni et al (2003,2006) showed a strong clinical improvement after both short and long term follow-up.…”

“…Unilateral dynamic balance was assessed using the SEBT for both the right and left legs in the anterior (ANT), medial (MED), and posterior (POST) directions [15]. The SEBT requires participants to stand with their hands on their hips while establishing the single leg Table 1.…”

“…Reach distance was recorded as the distance from the heel of the stance foot to the distal touch point of the reach leg. Reach distances were normalized for leg length of the reach leg [15]. For each participant able to complete the assessment, SEBT composite score was calculated by summing all normalized reach lengths.…”

Persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) have reduced physical activity (PA) and lower-limb physical function and potentially disordered body composition compared with their peers without MS. The aim of this study was to determine whether PA and body composition were differentially associated with lower-limb physical function in persons with MS compared with controls. Females with MS and age- and body mass index-matched female controls (n = 51; average age 48.1 +/- 9.7 yr) were measured for PA with daily step counts, relative fat mass (%Fat), and leg lean mass (LM-LEG) via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and for lower-limb physical function with objective performance tests. Persons with MS had 12.5% to 53% poorer lower-limb physical function than controls (all p < 0.05). PA, %Fat, and LM-LEG to body mass ratio (LM-LEG/BM) were associated with lower-limb physical function in both persons with MS and controls (all p < 0.05). Based on median splits, higher %Fat, lower LM-LEG/BM, and MS conferred poorer lower-limb physical function (all p < 0.05). PA, %Fat, and LM-LEG/BM were associated with lower-limb physical function, suggesting that body composition, specifically reducing adiposity and increasing lean mass and/or increasing PA levels, may be a potential target for MS interventions.

“…Falls are common in the geriatric population and lead to significant morbidity. [1] An exercise program combined balance and stepping training was designed to focus on improving dynamic balance responses, increasing step length and speed, and responding safely to postural challenging situations [1,7,8].…”

“…Balance exercise programs can be effective in improving gait and balance, as well as reducing falls and fall-related injuries [2,7]. Impaired gait and balance is one of the most significant causes and consequences of falls.…”

In non-active sports geriatric population the falls deficit, which are very common, led to significant morbidity. Therapeutic intervention includes balance training or resistive exercises have been shown to improve clinical testing of balance in non-active sports geriatric population. The particular selected geriatric specific age group those who have mobility disorders or functional impairment which is used to be considered. The aim of the study to identify superior effects between group based exercise (GBE) and combined balance step training (CBST) on a therapeutic balance among non-active sports geriatric population. The methodology which is used in the study purposive sampling technique includes sixty subjects those who have more than five years both genders were included. The participants divided into two groups, Group A and Group B. Group A administered combined balance and step training while group B undergone group based exercise program. The pre and post test values of balance were assessed following the interventions. The collective data was analyzed performed by paired and unpaired't' test. The results of the study show that there was a significant difference existing in group A and group B in balance deficit. But in group A which received combined balance and step training, there was a highly significant difference as compared to group B. The present study, which revealed that combined balance and step training has a much higher significant effect on balance geriatric individuals as compared to group based exercise program.
