Otago exercise program for balance in preschoolers
This trial tests whether the Otago Exercise Program, a series of simple strength and balance activities, can improve balance, endurance, and motor coordination in children aged 3–6. It may help kids who are typically developing but have some balance challenges.

This study tests two simple programs—Otago exercises (leg and balance movements) and a fear-reduction technique—to help people who had a stroke improve balance, reduce falls, and overcome fear of falling. It is designed for those still able to walk and in the early weeks of recovery.
This study is testing two exercise programs—Neuropilates and the Otago program—to see which one helps people recovering from stroke improve their balance, posture, and ability to do daily tasks on their own. If you are between 40 and 70 and had a stroke in the last 6 to 18 months, this might be a good fit.
