Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: Forty-eight postmenopausal women were randomized into PNF (n = 24) (5 days a week) and Frenkel (n = 24) (5 days a week as a home exercise program) exercise groups. Hand grip strength, quality of life (short form- 36), falling risk (Falls Risk of Older People-Community Setting \[FROP-COM\]), and balance (functional reach test \[FRT\], one - leg stand test \[OLST\], timed up and go test \[TUG\], and Berg balance scale \[BBS\]) of all patients were evaluated prior to treatment, and at 4th week follow-up. The treatment responses were evaluated at the beginning, and at the 4th week.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods: Forty-eight postmenopausal women were randomized into PNF (n = 24) (5 days a week) and Frenkel (n = 24) (5 days a week as a home exercise program) exercise groups. Hand grip strength, quality of life (short form- 36), falling risk (Falls Risk of Older People-Community Setting \[FROP-COM\]), and balance (functional reach test \[FRT\], one - leg stand test \[OLST\], timed up and go test \[TUG\], and Berg balance scale \[BBS\]) of all patients were evaluated prior to treatment, and at 4th week follow-up. The treatment responses were evaluated at the beginning, and at the 4th week. A total of 13 patients (27.1%) had a history of falls in the last 6 months and 12 months. According to the intra-group assessment; there was a significant improvement in all parameters in PNF group (p\<0.05). In Frenkel group, there was a significant improvement in all evaluations except the OLST (p=0.064), and the short form-36 mental health score (p=0.057). Among the groups; no significant difference was detected in terms of hand grip strength, FROP-COM, FRT and TUG scores (p \> 0.05). The OLST and BBS scores was significantly higher in the PNF group (p=0.022, and p= 0.002, respectively). To conclude, PNF and Frenkel exercise programs had significant effects on balance parameters, risk of falling and quality of life in postmenopausal women. Frenkel home exercise program is cheaper, easier, and requires less manpower, therefore, we think that it may be more preferable in terms of improving balance and reducing fall risk in postmenopausal women.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
PNF exercise
In the PNF exercise group; exercises were performed in company with a physiotherapist 5 days a week (30 minutes ) for 4 weeks. Five specific techniques were applied to the patients: dynamic stabilization, rhythmic stabilization, combined isotonic contractions, and hold-relax active motion
PNF exercise
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a form of neuromuscular retraining type containing the stimulation of sensory receptors to provide information about the body position and movement to facilitate the intended movement
Frenkel exercise
In the Frenkel exercise group, Frenkel coordination exercises were given in home exercise program 5 days a week for 4 weeks.The physiotherapist demonstrated Frenkel exercises to them once.
Frenkel exercise
The Frenkel exercises consist of a series of slow, repetitive movements performed in different positions while lying, sitting and standing.
