“…An 8-week Otago exercise program improved dynamic postural stability in middle-aged adults. This indicates that AR-based rehabilitation training is not different from therapist-supervised conventional exercises (Almarzouki et al, 2020). Moreover, the results of comparing the single-and DT groups showed a further improved postural stability effect in the DT group (Hoshyari et al, 2022).…”

This study compared augmented reality (AR)-based proprioception training to traditional therapy to determine if the two tasks together were effective in improving postural stability, proprioception, and cognition. Forty-five healthy adults in their 20s were randomized into three groups: AR-based DT, AR-based proprioceptive exercise, and therapist-supervised exercise. Paired t-test and independent t-test were used to determine the within and between group effects, and the three groups were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni's post hoc analysis. For postural stability, stability index and postural stability improved post-intervention in all groups (p<.05), with no differences between groups (p>.05). positioning sensation improved in all groups (p<.05), with no difference between groups (p>.05). Cognitive parameters showed significant differences in recognition and calculation in all groups after the intervention (p<.05), and no significant differences in ordering (p<.05). Thus, AR-based interventions have shown similar effects to therapists, improving cognitive performance on both tasks, and can be selected in some cases.

“…The eight-week Otago exercise for middle-aged adults improved dynamic balance by improving hip muscles and pelvic stability. This indicates that the performance of AR-based strengthening and balance exercises is not different from the results of previous exercises performed by therapists [ 30 ]. In this study, no significant difference was found between groups.…”

This study investigates whether Augmented Reality (AR)-based interventions can be as effective as physical therapists (PT) regarding balance, positioning sensation, and flexibility. A sample of 39 regular people who voluntarily participated in this study were randomly distributed into two groups. Then AR was applied in the experimental group and PT was applied in the control group. Variables were measured by Tetrax(static balance), Y-balance test(dynamic balance), CSMI(proprioception), and sit and reach test(flexibility). All measurements were analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test. The exercise program of this study improved the stability index (ST) of the static balance in both groups after the intervention, and there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) at normal eye close (NC) and Pillow with eye close (PC) positions. Moreover, regarding the case of dynamic balance, there were significant differences in AR and PT groups to reach in all directions (p < 0.05). In the case of positioning sensation, there was no significant difference in both groups (p > 0.05), and there was a significant difference in flexibility. (p < 0.05). When comparing the two groups, there was no significant difference in all categories (p > 0.05). As a result, AR can be considered an effective form of therapy and can be selected according to individual conditions.

Background: Knee Osteoarthritis is considered as the leading cause of the disability in almost all over the world after age of 40. Almost about 54 percent people will end up in knee osteoarthritis in old age. Awareness of non-pharmacological treatment for knee osteoarthritis is more in practice in European as well as in Asian countries. Physical therapy, Ultrasound therapy, Otago exercises etc. are the treatments that are available for conservative management as well as preventive measure of knee Osteoarthritis. Methodology: Subjects with knee osteoarthritis with grade II to III on Kallgren and Lawrence classification will be included in the study N = 52. Two groups each of 26 will be allocated randomly as group A who will receive ultrasound treatment with Otago exercises control group and group B who will receive ultrasound treatment with zingiber Cassumunar based gel and Otago exercises as experimental group. The Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), VAS, star excursion balance test will be performed before and after the treatment after 2 weeks with single blind procedure. Objective: This research will examine the effect of treatment with Zingiber Cassumunar based gel applied by means of phonophoresis with ultrasound therapy in knee osteoarthritis patients with Randomized control trial.

Improved balance in middle-aged adults after 8 weeks of a modified version of Otago Exercise Program: A randomized controlled trial

Abstract: The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to examine dynamic balance changes (reach distance) in middle-aged adults using the Y Balance Test (YBT) following 8 weeks of home-based exercise program adapted from the Otago Exercise Program (OEP).
