Brief Summary: The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effects of modified Otago and Frenkels exercises on balance motor function fear of fall and quality of life in the geriatric population The main questions it aims to answer are

How modified Otago and Frenkels exercises affect balance motor function fear of fall and quality of life in the geriatric population
Is there any difference between the effects of these two exercises Researchers will compare the effects of modified Otago and Frenkels exercises to see which kind of exercise has superior effects on the mentioned outcomes

Participants will be randomly divided into two groups who will perform their respective exercises for 45 minutes 3 days a week for 8 weeks Outcomes will be evaluated at the baseline 4th week and 8th week
Detailed Description: Several recent studies highlight the efficacy of various exercise interventions including modified Otago and Frenkels exercises in improving balance quality of life and fear of falling among the elderly population Many studies have demonstrated that Otago exercises show significant improvements in balance fear of falling and quality of life In 2022 a study determined the impact of home-based Otago exercises on balance quality of life and fear of falling in the elderly A meta-analysis conducted in 2021 evaluated the impact of the Otago Exercise Program on both actual and perceived balance in older adults In 2018 effects of Otago exercises were studies in comparison to Tai Chi Similarly in 2022 a study investigated the impact of Frenkel exercises combined with Cawthorne-Cooksey on functional balance and the risk of falling in the elderly Moreover in a study conducted in 2018 researchers evaluated the effects of Frenkels exercise on improving balance in elderly patients comparing it with aerobic exercise walking in 2017 a study was carried out to analyze the effect of Frenkels Exercises Vs Swiss ball exercises on balance in patients with type II diabetic neuropathy However comparative research directly contrasting the effects of Otago and Frenkels exercises on balance motor function and quality of life remains limited Moreover limited studies have explored the effects of Frenkels exercises specifically on balance enhancement emphasizing the need for further research in this area Additionally recent literature lacks detailed protocols for Otago exercises or modified Otago exercises hindering the development of evidence-based recommendations tailored to the unique needs of older adults This research underscores the importance of addressing this gap to optimize exercise strategies for promoting health and well-being in older adults
