Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
They randomly assigned into 2 equal groups:
Study group (A) 20 patients will receive otago exercise program and will do their normal activity of daily living. Study group (B) 20 patients will receive high velocity resisted training and will do their normal activity of daily living

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Otago group
Participants who will be randomized to the otago exercise program will receive an exercise program that include 17 exercises 5 for strengthen , 12 balance exercise and will starting and ending with a 2-to 3-min warm-up/cool-down period OEP consists of strengthening and balance exercises. Strengthening of ankle plantar and dorsiflexors, knee extensors and flexors, and hip abductors will be focused in traises. The progression will be performed by increasing the duration and then weights. Stair walking, sit-to-stand, heel-to-toe walking backward, toe walking, heel walking, one-leg stands, tandem walking, tandem stance, sideways walking, turning around, walking backward, walking, and knee bends were used for balance exercises. Three levels will be used for balance exercises: Level 1 will be 2 hands holding on, Level 2 will be one hand holding on, and Level 3 will be no hands or support. The individuals will repeat exercise 10 times session twice a week over 8 weeks
High velocity resistance training + Otago Exercise Program
Participants who will be randomized to the HVRT will receive an exercise program targeting the lower limbs, to be performed twice a week for 8 weeks. Participants will be instructed to perform the exercises in a rapid and explosive manner such that all repetitions for each shortening phase will be performed as quickly as possible while the lengthening phase of the muscle will be controlled over 2-3 s The exercise will be done (bilateral leg press, step up, sit to stand, calf raise). The 8 weeks will be divided in three phases .
OEP consists of strengthening and balance exercises. Strengthening of ankle plantar and dorsiflexors, knee extensors and flexors, and hip abductors will be focused in this program. Ankle weight cuffs (1-3 kg) provide resistance for hip and knee exercises. The ankle plantar and dorsiflexors will be strengthened by performing heel and toe raise .
plantar and dorsiflexors will be strengthened by performing heel and toe
High velocity resistance training group
Participants who will be randomized to the HVRT will receive an exercise program targeting the lower limbs, to be performed twice a week for 8 weeks. Participants will be instructed to perform the exercises in a rapid and explosive manner such that all repetitions for each shortening phase (concentric activation of the muscle) will be performed as quickly as possible while the lengthening phase of the muscle (eccentric phase) will be controlled over 2-3 s
