The EG participated in a 6\u2010week shuttle balance exercise program, while the CG maintained regular physical activity routines. The main outcome measures included gait speed (assessed via the timed up and go test), postural control (assessed via center of pressure data on a force plate), and quality of life (evaluated using the SF\u201036 questionnaire).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Post\u2010intervention, the EG showed significant improvements compared with the CG (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05).
