About

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.
