Résumé
The activity of daily living (ADL) related to stair climbing is one of the most compromised ADLs among the elders. It requires good muscle strength, balance, and range of motion (ROM) in the lower limb. We aimed to investigate the effects of Yoga complemented with physiotherapy (Intervention group) compared to only physiotherapy (control group) on lower limb muscle strength, balance, and ROMs among elders with ADL limitation in stair climbing. Sixty-five community-dwelling elders with compromised stair climbing were enrolled. Elders who consented to yoga along with physiotherapy were enrolled in the intervention arm. Data were collected and analyzed following 12 weeks of intervention. Endline assessment showed that the intervention group had more improvement in all test scores and ROMs as compared to the control group, although there were improvements in both arms as compared to baseline. Considering the beneficial effects of both interventions, yoga can be added to gain additional advantages.Trial Registration:Indian Clinical Trials Registry number CTRI/2021/08/035825.
