Balance problems are common among the elderly and are a leading cause of institutionalization in this group that result in over five million patient outpatient visits per year. It is estimated that between 28% and 35% of individuals over age 60 fall each year due to inadequate body balance, with a fifth of those requiring medical attention. The number of people with balance disorder increases to over 40% for those 60 and older. A history of balance disorder is also a robust predictor of morbidity among the elderly. Inadequate balance problems are prevalent, dangerous, and costly. Even falls that do not result in injury can have serious consequences. Psychological trauma and fear-of-falling produce a downward spiral of self-imposed activity reduction which leads to loss of strength, flexibility and mobility, thereby increasing the risk of future falls. Exercise is beneficial even in those aged more than 80 years. Balance exercises are a common technique for balance recovery. Previous studies have shown that elderly adults are less able than young adults to recover balance by balance exercises. The present study was done to find out the effectiveness of balance exercises on body balance.
