ABSTRACT:

Objective: The purpose of the research was to conclude the results of balance training with the ocular response using inert and dynamic biodex balance system for the hazard of fall as well as mobility in elderly individuals. Material and Methods: The mode of the research was pilot RCT (Randomized control trial) carried out at Jinnah Hospital, Lahore from August 2017 to February 2018. The research contains society habitants aged personals having batter health state. The mode of selecting the individual was non-verisimilitude purposive sampling. Individuals irregularly distributed into two balanced categories. The controlled category does not get any training whereas the intervention category passes through training of eight weeks on biodex balance system. Berg balance scale, biodex fall risk score, Go & timed up test prior and after the therapy was used for composition of facts and the data were further analyzed on SPSS software. Results: The researcher made two groups comprising of nine (50%) individuals in each group. Evaluation of the groups presented substantial betterment in intervention category with P-value ˂ 0.001 whereas no substantial improvement noticed in control group with P-value ˃ 0.05. Post-intervention, the findings remain constant while comparison of both the categories (P-value ˂ 0.05). Conclusion: Dynamic postural training through inert as well as dynamic biodex balance system had categorical consequences on mobility as well as equilibrium in aged individuals. Key Words: Mobility, Biodex Balance System (BDEX), Static & Dynamic (SD), Biodex Fall Risk Score (BFRS), Berg Balance Score (BBS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG).
