Introduction: The rapid increase of elderly populations brings greater attention to the loss of independence in individuals 60 years and older. This loss of independence is related to a decrease in functional capacity in completing activities of daily living (ADL) leading to an increased occurrence of falls which is a leading fear of the elderly due to its serious health consequences. Material and methodology: To determine the effectiveness of static balance exercise on FES-I for fear of fall and Tinetti mobility test (TMT) or performance-oriented mobility assessment (POMA) for balance in elderly. The study design was Quasi-Experimental Study. The study was conducted in Parul Sevashram Hospital, Vadodara. Twenty elderly peoples working at parul sevashram hospital were included in study. Static balance exercise was given four times a week for six weeks. Fear of falling was assessed with Short Fall Efficacy International (FES – I), Balance was measured with POMA. Paired t-test was used for the analysis of the data. Results: After six weeks the intervention was given showed significant positive changes in the FES-I ( P = 0.003), POMA ( P = 0.002). Significant improvements were found in Elderly on fear of fall and balance; after intervention.
