Interventions
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Exercises
Participants in this group will receive Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) exercises based on developmental kinesiology principles. The intervention focuses on activation and coordination of the deep stabilizing system, diaphragmatic breathing, regulation of intra-abdominal pressure, and restoration of optimal postural and movement patterns. Exercises will be performed in progressively challenging positions appropriate for older adults and will be supervised by a physiotherapist throughout the intervention period.
Balance Exercises
Conventional static and dynamic balance exercises commonly used in geriatric rehabilitation, including weight-shifting and functional balance tasks, supervised by a physiotherapist.
