Synopsis

Falls are a major public health concern among older adults, often leading to injury, disability, and reduced independence due to age-related declines in balance, muscle strength, and mobility. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Staying Upright Exercise Program in improving balance, strength, and reducing fall risk in older adults. Thirty participants were divided into two groups: Group A performed supervised Staying Upright exercises for three months, while Group B followed a simple home-based balance exercise program. Outcome measures included the Fall Efficacy Scale-International, Berg Balance Scale, and Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test. Analysis using the Student’s t-test showed significant improvements in both groups, but the experimental group demonstrated greater gains, particularly in reducing fear of falling and improving balance. The findings suggest that the Staying Upright Exercise Program is more effective than simple home-based training in enhancing strength, balance, and fall prevention among older adults.
