Subjects with history of any neurological disease and musculoskeletal impairment that could account for possible balance impairment like CVA, Parkinson's disease, vestibular disorder, joint replacement, fractures etc, diagnosed with visual and auditory impairment, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, unstable cardio-respiratory condition, which may affect the training procedure were excluded. Purpose of the study was explained to the subject. Written consent was taken. All participants were selected by simple random sampling and randomly divided into two groups. Group A received Square stepping exercises and group B received Balance training exercises for a period of 30 minutes with appropriate rest pause, 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Get Up Go (TUG) were used to assess cognition, balance respectively and Fall Efficacy Scale (FES) was used to assess fear of falling Result: Participants in both the groups improved on BBS and TUG (p<0.0001) scores. Conclusion: The study concluded that square stepping exercise group exhibited statistically significant improvement on BBS and TUG test score and Fall Efficacy Test scores compared to the balance training exercise group.
