Abstract

Introduction: Aging is a process in the elderly, characterized by changes in body balance, which can impact the risk of falls 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 Conclusion: Dynamic weight-shift balance strategies are more effective in improving balance in the elderly than static weight-shift balance strategies.
