SUMMARY
This research investigates the impact of balance training on improving functional performance and reducing fall risk in community-dwelling older adults who have recovered from COVID-19. Post-COVID-19, many elderly individuals experience lingering physical impairments, including muscle weakness, decreased coordination, and balance deficits, which increase their vulnerability to falls. The study evaluates whether a structured balance training program can enhance stability, mobility, and overall quality of life in this population.
