Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise
Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise and Self-initiated Perturbation-based Balance Exercise (LiFE-SePBT) is a synergistic fall prevention programme. LiFE programme targets generic balance and muscle strength whereas SePBT mainly influences through reactive balance.
Upper limb mobilisation and flexibility training
Upper limb mobilisation and flexibility training, including arm circles, deltoid stretches, shoulder internal rotations, etc.
