Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Timed up and go test — 14 weeks
  Timed up and go test is used for the assessment of falls risk among elderly population. The Timed "Up and Go" (TUG) Test measures, in seconds, the time taken by an individual to stand up from a standard arm chair (approximate seat height of 46 cm, arm height 65 cm), walk a distance of 3 meters (approximately 10 feet), turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down. Normal healthy elderly usually complete the task in 10 seconds or less. Very frail or weak elderly with poor mobility may take 2 minutes or more. Clinical guide: \<10 seconds = normal \<20 seconds = good mobility, can go out alone, mobile without a gait aid \<30 seconds = problems, cannot go outside alone, requires a gait aid A score of more than or equal to 14 seconds has been shown to indicate high risk of falls.
• Improvement on Montreal Cognitive Assessment test of 5 points or more than baseline( total score is out of 30 points) — 14 weeks
  Subject will complete 3 Montreal Cognitive assessment prior to study over 1 week time. Best score of three is used. After study is complete subject will also undergo 3 Montreal cognitive assessment over 1 week immediately after study. Again best score is used.
• Mini-Mental State Examination — 14 weeks
  Mini-Mental State Examination, 1 point for each correct answer maximun score: 30 - minimum score:24
