Effect of DNS Exercises Training on Hypertension

PURPOSE: This study will be conducted to investigate any significant effect of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on postural control in patients with essential hypertension. BACKGROUND: The most recent global estimates suggested that hypertension (HTN) affected 1.13 billion people worldwide. Raised blood pressure (BP) has emerged as the most important risk factor for global morbidity and mortality. Hypertensive individuals present slower processing speed, reduced static and dynamic balance, decreased functional mobility during both single and dual tasking and higher fear of falling in comparison to normotensive individuals. These findings expand the body of knowledge about the effects of HTN on physical functions like prolonged processing time, disturbed balance and reduced mobility functions, which may guide clinicians in including preventive and rehabilitative strategies to their therapy protocols in order to improve the quality of life of the individuals with HTN. HYPOTHESES: Null Hypothesis: there will be no significant effect of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on postural control in patients with essential hypertension. RESEARCH QUESTION: Will be any significant effect of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on postural control in patients with essential hypertension?
