Brief Summary
The study aims to evaluate the effects of balance training, with and without gaze stability exercises, on cognitive function, balance, and postural stability in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A randomized controlled trial with 30 participants will be conducted at Fauji Foundation Hospital and Chakwal. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving balance training with gaze stability exercises, and the other receiving balance training alone. Baseline, 4-week, and 8-week assessments will measure cognitive function (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), balance (Berg Balance Scale), and mobility (Time Up and Go test). Training will consist of 24 sessions over 8 weeks, with sessions lasting 30-50 minutes.
