Physiotherapy management in Ageing

1. Physiotherapy Interventions

2. Strength Training :-

3. Lower limb strengthening Aerobic exercises

4. Balance and Coordination training :- Static Exercises – standing with feet together , single leg Standing

5. Dynamic Exercises – tandem walking , Marching , Stepping on uneven Surfaces

6. Dual task training :- walking while counting numbers from backwards , Reciting months of year while walking

7. Gait Training & Postural correction

8. Assistive devices :- Walking Sticks , Walkers , Orthosis

9. 4. Sensory Re-education Training (vision , Proprioception, Vestibular )

10. Training in safe use Teaching how to use walking Aids correctly and safely at homes or outside

11. Special Neurophysiotherapy Approach Specialized neurophysiotherapy approaches are includes the various techniques like therapeutic handling, motor relearning, sensory stimulation, and rhythmic exercises Helps to improve movement, posture, and function Task oriented training Sensory integration for Balance Neuroplasticity driven exercise programe Virtual Reality / ROBOTICS Sensorimotor training

12. Task Oriented Training :- It includes repetitive task practice, intensity of training Sit to Stand Walking Tasks Turning & Direction Changes Stair/Step training perturbation training Weight shifting exercise

13. Cognitive & Dual task Integration Memory games combined with physical tasks.

14. Sensory integration for Balance This includes Visual System Training SomatoSensory (proprioceptive ) Training Vestibular System Training Proprioceptive Training (wobble boards, foam surfaces)

15. Eye hand co-ordination exercises.

16. Tai chi Tai chi is a time-honored martial art that involves slow, rhythmic novements , including rotation of the trunk, shifting weight, coordination and a gradual progression to narrowing the lower extremity stance. It has gained recognition as a good exercise choice for the older individuals tai chi improves postural stability It also offers multiple musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary benefits.

17. Neuroplasticity Driven Exercise Program Neuroplasticity is the Brain’s ability to Reorganise , adapt and form new neural connections in response to learning, experience , or injury . Exercises :- Dual- Task & Cognitive – Motar Training - Motar + Cognitive task - Motar + Motar training

18. Virtual Reality / Robotics in Fall Prevention Virtual Reality :- it immerses older adults in a safe, environment to provide balance and Mobility tasks It includes - Balance Training - Obstacle negotiation - Dual Task Walking

19. Robotics Provides assisted or resisted movements to train gait and balance . Support high repetition , task-specific training safety . ROBOTIC DIVICES FOR OLDER PATIENTS -Robotic gait trainers -Exoskeletons -Balance Robots
