Objectives: To study and compare the effectiveness of conventional balance exercise training program and Swiss ball exercise training program on balance function in geriatric population.Methodology: 30 individuals were recruited and randomized into two groups A and B. 14 days intervention was given in which group A received the conventional core strengthening exercise and group B underwent Swiss ball balance training program. Pre-intervention and post intervention scores of Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and Functional Reach Test (FRT) was measured and data were analyzed using t test.
Results: The pre and post comparison of TUG and FRT showed significant change in balance in both the groups (p< 0.001). Comparison of group A and group B however showed no difference in the outcome measures (p> 0.001).
Conclusion: Both conventional and Swiss ball exercise program were proved to be equally effective in improving balance in geriatrics.
