The effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques compared to general aerobic exercise on balance, fear of falling, and quality of life in older adults living in nursing homes: a randomized controlled trial

The effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques compared to general aerobic exercise on balance, fear of falling, and quality of life in older adults living in nursing homes: a randomized controlled trial
