Experimental Group

Subjects were randomly assigned and informed consent was obtained, the subjects were educated about treatment. This contained 4 types of progressive activities. Respectively every type contains 2 to 4 tasks, performed in sets of 10 repetitions for 4 weeks.

Results were obtained by using Balance scoring system, and physical performance test for speed and agility

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cawthorne Cooksey Exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Activity sitting on the "Exercise Ball" swing (eye movements, first slow and then fast)

Swing sitting activity (head movements, first slow then fast - eyes open and eyes closed)

Trunk activities focusing on balance

Dynamic balance activity focusing on standing

Control Group

Control group: (Group B) Subjects were randomly assigned and informed consent was obtained, the subjects were educated about treatment. They were asked to perform the regular drills.

Results were obtained using Balance Error scoring system and physical performance test for speed and agility.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
