Overview

Postmenopausal obese women often have difficulties with balance and proprioception. Sensorimotor training is an important part of physical therapy interventions, with emerging evidence that it could be beneficial for postmenopausal obese women. Objective: To find the impact of sensorimotor training on balance and proprioception among postmenopausal obese women.

Randomized clinical trial was conducted on postmenopausal obese women population with impaired balance and proprioception on inclusion \& exclusion criteria, sample size of 40, ages ranged from 45 to 65 years included. Group A received SMT and Group B received CT. The interval of treatment was 6 weeks. Data is collected from THQ Samundri. FRT, TUG, OLS utilized to assess the pre-and post-estimations of postural strength.

Sensorimotor training exercisesOTHER

Sensorimotor training exercises include wall slides , core exercises (Planks, leg raises, crunches, bridging) balance exercises (single leg side lift, leg lift with dumble, balance on stability ball) on unstable surface for 50-60 min (3 sets of 10 rep) of exercises and gait training (different patterns of walking

Without Sensorimotor training exercisesOTHER

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Functional Reach Test (FRT)

Functional Reach Test (FRT) is a clinical outcome measure used to asses dynamic balance in one simple task.

Time frame: 2 months

Time Up and Go Test (TUG)

Time Up and Go test is used to assess the individual's mobility, static and dynamic balance walking ability and risk of fall among older adults. Intratester and intertester reliability (ICC) in elderly populations

Time frame: 2 months

One Leg Stance Test (OLS)

The Single leg Stance (SLS) Test is used to evaluate static postural and balance control with one eye open and standing on one leg

Time frame: 2 months
