Overview

Meta-analysis reveals no significant benefits of balance training over conventional training for elderly hip and knee replacement patients.

Key Points

  • Balance training showed no superior outcomes for pain, function, and balance compared to conventional training.
  • Meta-analysis included 19 trials with a total of 1,135 older adults undergoing knee or hip arthroplasty.
  • Significant reduction in WOMAC total score with balance training was noted but not enough to advocate its use over conventional methods.
  • Findings suggest balance training should not be preferred over conventional training in this rehabilitation context.
