Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It will be a randomized clinical trial where non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used. Total 44 participants will be taken aged 60 to 85 years. All Participants will be randomized through lottery method and allocated into two groups. Group A (n=22) participants will receive Virtual Reality intervention with conventional treatment, while Group B (n=22) will receive Vestibular Exercises with conventional treatment. The Berg Balance Scale for balance assessment, Dynamic Gait Index for gait while Time Up and Go Test, and Modified Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living will be outcome measure tools.
