The incongruent reaction time improved ( P ≤ 0.05) among the EG compared to the CG in the post-intervention session. Postural control improved ( P ≤ 0.05) post-intervention compared to pre-intervention in the EG, on a firm surface in the eyes closed condition.

Hence, this technique should be taken into consideration when designing preventive and therapeutic strategies for these women. Additionally, women are encouraged to incorporate this exercise into their daily activities to enhance their quality of life.</p>","PeriodicalId":18435,"journal":{"name":"Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society","volume":" ","pages":"158-165"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142846966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
