Brief summary
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of flamingo exercise on balance in patients with balance impairment due to senil osteoarthritis
Detailed description
Changes in the sensory, neurological, and musculoskeletal systems in older adults affect several motor tasks,including postural balance. Also osteoarthritis contribute to this process. Older people can gain balance disorders. The flamingo balance exercise is a full lower body workout utilizing many major muscle groups. Therefore investigators aimed to determine the effect of flamingo exercise combined with kinesthetic ability trainer or alone in patients with balance impairment due to osteoarthritis
