Respondents from this study were 20 people divided into two groups, group I a number of 10 people were given the balance strategy exercise and group II a number of 10 people were treated with gaze stability exercise. Measurement of balance in the elderly using Berg Balance Scale. The result using paired sample t-test in group I p = 0,000 (p <0.05) and group II p = 0.001 (p <0.05), this indicates that both treatments were given in group I and II has an influence on increasing balance in the
elderly. While the results of the independent sample t-test in the treatment group p = 0302 (p <0.05), this shows that the treatment carried out in groups I and II did not have a difference in effect on increasing balance in the elderly.
The conclusion of this study is that there is an effect of balance strategy exercise and gaze stability exercise in each group, but there is no significant difference in effect on balance training exercises and stability exercise views
