Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research investigates the impact of balance training on improving functional performance and reducing fall risk in community-dwelling older adults who have recovered from COVID-19. Post-COVID-19, many elderly individuals experience lingering physical impairments, including muscle weakness, decreased coordination, and balance deficits, which increase their vulnerability to falls. The study evaluates whether a structured balance training program can enhance stability, mobility, and overall quality of life in this population.

Detailed Description

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

Older adults recovering from COVID-19 frequently face persistent physical limitations due to the virus's impact on the respiratory, muscular, and neurological systems. These limitations often manifest as impaired balance, reduced functional mobility, and increased risk of falls-conditions further exacerbated by prolonged inactivity or hospitalization during illness.

This research focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of a structured balance training program using The Biodex Stability System in older adults living independently in the community after recovering from COVID-19.

Participants are assessed using validated tools such as the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and The Biodex Stability System to measure changes in balance performance, fall risk, and confidence in daily movement.
