<![CDATA[Introduction: Aging is a process in the elderly, characterized by changes in body balance, which can impact the risk of falls. The ability to control body balance function in the elderly is affected by the degenerative process, making them prone to unsteadiness, slipping, and tripping, which can increase the risk of falls for the elderly. The exercises begin with static weight shifts (anterior-posterior and lateral) to improve stability and postural control. They then progress to dynamic exercises such as stepping, reaching, and changing gait directions to enhance functional balance adaptation. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of static and dynamic weight-shift balance strategies as a development of low-coast management exercise to improve balance function. Method: This is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design. This study used a pre-test, post-test, two-group design, with purposive sampling. Result: Data were analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The results showed a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in effectiveness between balance scores before and after exercise in group 1, with a mean of 10.12 and group 2, with a mean of 9.05, There was a significant difference between groups (p-value = 0.025). Conclusion: Dynamic weight-shift balance strategies are more effective in improving balance in the elderly than static weight-shift balance strategies.]]>
