The research aims to design a program using motor balance exercises for the elderly and to identify: -

1- The effect of the program is on the functional efficiency index of the vestibular system for the elderly.

Research hypotheses:

1- There are statistically significant differences between the average scores of the pre- and post-measurements in the functional efficiency index of the vestibular system in the research sample in favor of the post-measurement.

Research Methodology:

The researcher used the experimental method due to its suitability to the nature of the research using the experimental design for one experimental group following the (pre-post) measurement.

Research Community:

The research community is represented by elderly women who suffer from balance disorder and vestibular dysfunction and their ages range between 65-70 years and who visit Minya University Hospital to conduct the necessary medical examinations.

Research sample:

The research sample was selected from the research community intentionally, residing in Minya city, and the number of sample members was (10).

Tests and measurements used in the research:

Medical test: Video head impulse test (HVIT)

Data collection tools and means:

- Pure tone audiometry

- Video head impulse test (VHIT)

- Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and ear MRI Petrous and brain with centrist

- Restameter device to measure height in centimeters

- Dynamometer device to measure muscle strength

- Spirometer device to measure vital capacity

- Blood pressure measuring device

- Medical scale to measure weight (kg)
