Purpose: To study and present the scientific publications available in reference databases that discuss physiotherapeutic programmes focused on fall prevention among the elderly. Material and Methods: Material: The study considers scientific publications from 2019-2024 relative to the keywords "kinesitherapy” fall prevention", "exercises" and "elderly" in scientific databases, such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Methods for assessment of the risk and the complications occurring after falls are proposed, innovations and technologies in aid of fall prevention are introduced, and the role of the physiotherapist is affirmed. Results: 63 full-text scientific articles were recruited, 22 of them (approx. 35%) focused on a specific proposal for a physiotherapeutic complex. Abstracting from the studies implementing virtual reality, augmented reality, and exergames as prevention methods, the study is focused only on the conventional methods. The developments of twenty-two authors’ collective present programs for the prevention of falls. Conclusion: Based on the data, researchers create and introduce programmes in the physiotherapeutic practice, with Otago as the most common. The proposed physiotherapeutic procedures include exercises for balance and gait improvement (robot-assisted or not), occupational therapy, classic kinesitherapy, walking and treadmill training, as well as robot-assisted therapy for upper extremities. Exercises for increasing muscle strength and improving balance are present in almost all proposed programmes. Guidelines are being developed in support of clinicians around the world to determine their approach and manage the risk of falls among the elderly.

Introduction: postural balance is a concept that refers to the body's ability to maintain its center of gravity while relying on a support area. Purpose: to develop and implement a combined physiotherapy programme with sensorimotor exercises and to monitor its effectiveness after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Material and methods: Material: 15 men (mean age 25.16) were observed after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. They underwent a physiotherapy programme combined with additional exercises for sensorimotor stimulation. The sensorimotor stimulation exercises were specifically tailored to overcome muscle imbalance and pathological proprioceptive information from the operated knee joint. Methods: Functional methods include lower extremity centimetry, range of motion in the knee joint, manual muscle testing, static and dynamic balance tests, and postural control tests. Statistical methods: statistical data grouping; Cronbach's test; descriptive method; statistical hypotheses testing; correlation analysis. The data was processed with SPSS v.24.0 for Windows. Results: according to the literature, the main cause of impaired proprioception and mechanoreception is the loss of mechanoreceptive afferency due to tissue damage in the knee joint. This requires an income of sensory information from neighboring healthy structures. The inclusion of sensorimotor exercises helps build new motor skills, activity, and regulation that require peripheral stimuli. The results from the static and dynamic portions of the test show the possibility of restoring impaired sensorimotor information. Conclusion: the combination of classic physiotherapy and sensorimotor stimulation influences the support and motor function of the lower extremities.
