Summary

This study looked at whether five simple physiotherapy exercises could help improve balance and reaction speed in older adults (ages 65-95) with arthritis of the spine. Sixty participants were split into two groups: one did a three-week exercise program, the other did not. The results showed that the exercises significantly improved balance and reaction time, which could help reduce fall risk.
