Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of aquatic Exercises on balance in healthy postmenopausal women .

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: Aquatic therapy
 N/A

Detailed Description

Menopause, defined as the final menstrual period, physiologically results from the natural depletion of ovarian follicular function; a condition that translates into permanent amenorrhea (the permanent cessation of menstrual flow) generally associated with aging.

Many women have few or no symptoms, and thus, these women are not necessarily in need of medical treatment. The signs and symptoms of menopause are characterized by onset of irregular menses, hot flushes and night sweats. Menopause is also known to be associated with changes in behavior and other biological functions e.g., mood swings, anxiety, stress, forgetfulness and sleep disturbances

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Aquatic therapy

Aquatic exercise program: Each woman in group (A) will receive aquatic exercises for 40 minutes.

Other: Aquatic therapy
• Each session was divided into three phases: Aquatic environment adaptation phase stretching phase a phase of static and dynamic exercises for balance

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Biodex balance assessment [3 months]

      It is objective device that measure dynamic postural stability and it is reliable for evaluating dynamic postural balance in healthy subjects

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. The Timed Up and Down Stair Test [3 months]

      • This test is designed to measure dynamic balance (Leroux, 2005). Using an 8-inches high stair, the women will be asked to step on and off seven times at their naturally preferred comfortable pace. They step up with one foot and then the other and step down with one foot followed by the other foot.
