The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of suspended stabilization exercises on functional ability, balance and fear of falling in women with MS. Thirty women with MS were divided into control and experimental groups. The training protocol consisted of 12 weeks of suspended exercise that was performed for 12 weeks, 3 sessions per week and about 30 minutes per session. Covariance analysis was used to data analyze. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in balance, functional ability and fear of falling in women with MS. Also, there was a difference between motor performance scores. , Balance and fear of falling before and after suspended stabilization exercises were significant in the experimental group. The findings of the present study showed that suspension exercises improve balance, fear of falling and functional ability of women with MS. It is recommended that suspension exercises be used to control and improve the motor function of people with MS.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of selected strength training at an unstable level and hydrotherapy on lower limb muscle strength, balance and fear of falling in the elderly. All subjects included 36 elderly men aged 60 to 70 years who were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly divided into three groups of 12: strength, hydrotherapy and control. To assess static balance, dynamic balance, lower limb muscle strength and fear of falling, the Sharpened Romberg test, the time of getting up and going, getting up from the chair and the Falls Efficacy Scale International were used, The control group did not have a specific exercise program. Analysis of covariance and Bonferroni test were used to analyze the data. The results showed that between the groups of strength training, hydrotherapy and control in the variables of static balance (P= 0.001), dynamic balance (P= 0.001), lower limb strength (P= 0.01) and fear of falling (P= 0.001) there is a significant difference. By using strength training at an unstable level, you can improve the strength of the lower limbs and improve balance and reduce the risk of falls, and it is one of the appropriate solutions. It is effective in improving balance, lower limb strength and reducing the risk of falling in older men. However, strength training was more effective.

Falling is a major health problem among elderly that has significant affect their health and life quality, but it can be possibly prevented by development of muscle strength. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between strength of spine extensor muscles with dynamic balance and fear of falling in elderly people.
68 elderly men and woman with mean age of 70±5.43 years, height of 157.29±8.59 cm and weight of 70.64±9.63 kg were randomly recruited among volunteers. Dynamometer, biodex stability system and modified MFES questionnaire were used to assess strength of spine extensor muscles, dynamic balance and fear of falling respectively. This research was an empirical and causal relationship study, and to elicit the results, Pearson correlation coefficient was used and significance level was considered if p The results indicated a significant negative correlation between strength of spine extensor muscles and dynamic balance in anterior posterior direction (p=0.0001), while no significant correlation was shown between strength of spine extensor muscles and dynamic balance in media-lateral direction (p=0.29). In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between strength of spine extensor muscles and fear of falling (p=0.01).
Strength of spine extensor muscles is an effective factor to maintain balance at anterior-posterior direction and fear of falling.
