Summary

This study looked at 130 older women to see how the strength of their hip and knee muscles relates to their balance. Researchers measured muscle strength and balance scores to find which muscles are most important for staying steady. The goal is to help design better exercises to prevent falls in older adults.

Participants will be required to have sufficient cognitive function to understand instructions and complete the assessments, and they must be willing to provide informed consent prior to participation. Demographic information including age, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity level will be collected to describe the sample and to serve as potential covariates in the statistical analyses.
