Title

EFFECT OF SQUARE STEEPING EXERCISE VERSUS OTAGO EXERCISE IN ELDERLY TO PREVENT FALL AND INJURY RELATED TO FALL -A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Abstract

This study has been undertaken to investigate the effect between square steeping exercise(SSE) and Otago exercise programme (OEP) to prevent fall and injury using fall of efficacy , time up and go(TUG), functional reach. Falls are a main cause of morbidity and disability in the elderly. More than one-third of persons 65 years, of age or older fall each year, and in half of such cases the falls are recurrent. There are few studies done individually on Square steeping exercise and Otago exercise to prevent fall in elderly but no prior study investigated the comparison of square stepping exercise versus Otago exercise to prevent fall prevention in old adult. Sample size of 38 where taken from which Otago exercise group (n=19) and Square steeping exercise group (n=19)were divided randomly. In comparison between these intervention for their effectiveness, it was found that Square steeping exercise is more effective than Otago exercise in reducing risk of fall . Hence, the study rejects null hypothesis. Statistical analysis proves that SSE are significantly effective in reducing risk of fall and improving balance with p-value< 0.001 for functional reach test and p-value<0.002 for TUG.
