Background: The rate of falls and severity of the resulting complications increases dramatically with age. When it comes to fall prevention in elderly population, it is very important to collectively work on postural control, Lower limb strength along with balance training. When all this training is given in group and under observation, it helps to improve performance, willingness and promotes motivation to complete the exercise protocol. Hence the need of the study is to find the effect of a multimodal group balance enhancing exercise program on elderly. Aim: To find the effect of a multimodal group balance enhancing exercise program on elderly. Methodology: It is an experimental study, having sample size of 20 of age between 65-75 years. The data was collected from the locality and the training took place under supervision. TUG, BBS, One Leg Standing Time were assessed. After exercise protocol, statistical analysis was done, and the result were obtained. Result: Significant improvements were observed by paired T-test after multimodal balance enhancing group exercises with p-value less than 0.0001. Conclusion: Study concludes that this multimodal group balance exercise protocol can significantly improve balance in elderly.
