-Abstract
The research aims to design a program using motor balance exercises for the elderly and to identify: -
1- The effect of the program is on the functional efficiency index of the vestibular system for the elderly.
Research hypotheses:
1- There are statistically significant differences between the average scores of the pre- and post-measurements in the functional efficiency index of the vestibular system in the research sample in favor of the post-measurement.
Research Methodology:
The researcher used the experimental method due to its suitability to the nature of the research using the experimental design for one experimental group following the (pre-post) measurement.
Research Community:
The research community is represented by elderly women who suffer from balance disorder and vestibular dysfunction and their ages range between 65-70 years and who visit Minya University Hospital to conduct the necessary medical examinations.
Research sample:
The research sample was selected from the research community intentionally, residing in Minya city, and the number of sample members was (10).
Tests and measurements used in the research:
Medical test: Video head impulse test (HVIT)
Data collection tools and means:
- Pure tone audiometry
- Video head impulse test (VHIT)
- Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and ear MRI Petrous and brain with centrist
- Restameter device to measure height in centimeters
- Dynamometer device to measure muscle strength
- Spirometer device to measure vital capacity
- Blood pressure measuring device
- Medical scale to measure weight (kg)
