An interventional study of Electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback and Balance training in Balance Problems and Elderly (People Aged 65 or More), sponsored by Mohamed Said Alsafy Alhamrawy. Recruiting at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 65 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-20.
Sponsored by Mohamed Said Alsafy Alhamrawy · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study aimed to investigate the effect of gluteus medius activation using electromyography (EMG) biofeedback combined with balance training on balance, physical performance, gluteus medius muscle activity, and quality of life in osteoporotic elderly patients.
1,640 studies on the registry are indexed under Osteoporosis; 212 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 60 is below the median of 95 across 1,133 interventional studies indexed under Osteoporosis.

All patients included in this study met the following criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
The potential patients were excluded if they have one of the following criteria:
received 30 minutes of traditional balance training (functional strength, static and dynamic balance, and gait training) followed by 30 minutes of gluteus medius isometric strengthening using EMG biofeedback, three times per week, for four consecutive weeks.
Device: Electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback
received balance training alone with the same frequency and duration.
Other: Balance training
a physical therapy intervention that uses auditory and visual feedback to control the contraction or relaxation of muscles. Repeated biofeedback training can induce motor learning of muscles. Biofeedback enhances the function of pelvic floor muscles by enhancing the force generation, correct timing, and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles. Electromyography Biofeedback is considered as a behavioural therapy training modality
functional strength, static and dynamic balance, and gait training
Balance
balance of osteoporotic elderly patients (antero-posterior, medio-lateral, and overall stability indices; Berg Balance Scale)
Time frame: Base line before treatment, then one month after treatment
gluteus medius activity
Assessment of gluteus medius strength by hand-held dynamometer
Time frame: Base line before treatment and reassessment after one month of treatment
