Brief Summary:
this study will be conducted to investigate effect of balance training with foot orthosis on falling in elderly
Detailed Description:
The concept of physiology of ageing implies that a series of complex events occur which ultimately lead to a progressive reduction in function of all organ systems This process also called homeostenosis is influenced by gene variations and differences in exposure to environmental factors Reduction in muscle strength and coordination of the lower extremities accompanied by decreased gait assurance and balance control are the result of a physical deterioration in an older body Together with decreased cognitive functions these impairments lead to a higher risk of falling among the elderly The foot is the first point of contact between the body and the external environment and it plays an important role in postural sway Its plantar mechanical receptors provide spatial and temporal information about contact pressures and shear forces resulting from body movement being a valuable feedback mechanism to the postural control system Interventions to optimize sensory information from plantar sole such as vibration stimuli customized foot orthoses textured insoles and sandals with textured insoles and magnetic insoles have been tested before some of them showing balance improvement Sixty elderly patients will be allocated randomly to two groups group 1 will receive balance training program beside orthotic prescription and group 2 will receive orthotic prescription alone
