Balance Training Following Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Balance in People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

This study aims to see if a co-designed balance training programme called Sport4Steadiness (S4S), is acceptable to people with COPD and if the study procedures, including recruitment and the collection of outcomes, is feasible.

Effects of Sensory Integration Training on Static Standing Balance in Older Adults

Balance impairment is a common problem among adults aged 60 years and older due to age-related decline in the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems. These impairments increase the risk of falls, reduce mobility, and compromise functional independence and quality of life. Conventional balance training is commonly used to improve postural stability; however, the additional benefits of sensory integration training remain unclear. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of sensory integration training combined with conventional balance training on static standing balance in older adults with a moderate risk of falls. Twenty-eight participants aged 60 years and above will be recruited and randomly allocated into an experimental group (n=14) and a control group (n=14). Experimental group will receive sesnory integration training and control group will receive conventional balance training three times per week for six weeks. Balance performance will be assessed before and after the intervention using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), and Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB). Data will be analyzed using paired-sample t-tests for within-group comparisons and independent-sample t-tests for between-group comparisons. Statistical significance will be set at p\<0.05.

Cognitive-Based Balance Exercises on the Shooting Performance of Archers

The aim of this treatment study is to determine the effects of cognitive-based balance exercises on archers' shooting performance. The study focuses on archers and examines the effects of cognitive-based dynamic and static balance exercises on shooting accuracy. In this context, the main questions that the study aims to answer are as follows: * Cognitive-based balance exercises applied to archers have no effect on shooting performance. * Cognitive-based balance exercises applied to archers have an effect on shooting performance. The researchers will evaluate the effects of the interventions on shooting performance by comparing the performance differences between archers who apply cognitive-based balance exercises and archers who only do balance exercises. Participants: * The control group will apply various balance exercises during the 12-week training period. The study group will apply cognitive-based balance exercises. * They will be subjected to performance tests that evaluate static balance, dynamic balance and shooting accuracy.

The Effect of Balance Training Using a Dynamometric Platform in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgery used to treat advanced knee osteoarthritis, especially when other treatments no longer help. While the surgery often reduces pain and improves joint alignment, many patients still have problems with balance and movement afterward. This study will explore whether adding balance training using the Tecnobody ProKin system to standard physical therapy helps patients recover better after TKA. The researchers will measure balance, walking ability, leg strength, and body awareness (also called proprioception) using special equipment. The main goal is to test the hypothesis that technology-supported balance training improves recovery outcomes more effectively than standard rehabilitation alone.

The SaVe Project-Sarcopenia and Vertigo in Aging Patients With Colorectal Cancer

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the cause of dizziness and decline in walking ability in in older adults ≥65 years during chemotherapy treatment for colorectal cancer. Another goal is to investigate if a comprehensive geriatric assessment and three months' specialized physical group-based exercise three times/week can counteract muscle weakness, vertigo, instability, impaired walking balance, and neuropathy

Balance Training To Enhance Stability And Athletic Performance During The Menstrual Cycle

This study was done to investigate the effect of balance training on improving balance and athletic performance during menstrual cycle in young athletic females Does balance training improve balance and athletic performance during the menstrual cycle? 60 athletic females will participate in the study. They will be randomly assigned into two groups. Group A will receive balance training on biodex, while group B will be the control group.
