Study aims to investigate the profound impact of exer gaming on normal aged individuals within our society. Additionally, to compare the effects of exer gaming-based exercises and Otago exercises on crucial aspects such as balance, physical performance, and gait pattern among the normal aged population. This study holds immense significance as it has the potential to greatly improve the health and wellbeing of the elderly population. By identifying an efficacious physical therapy intervention to address the complications associated with balance, physical performance, and gait pattern, we can effectively mitigate further dysfunctions in this demographic.

This test is often used to assess the risk of falls among older adults
Time frame: 4th week
dynamic gait index
Assess the likelihood of falling in older adults.total score is of 24.score less than 19 is predictive of fall risks.
Time frame: 4th week
10 Meter Walk Test (10MWT)
The 10MWT is a clinical assessment used to measure an individual's walking speed over a 10-meter distance. It is often used to assess gait and mobility, as well as to track changes in a person's walking abilities over time.
