Background and aims: The elderly living in nursing homes have different motor situations compared with their peers, which can affect different motor functions. Investigating the characteristics of balance has always been of interest to researchers due to its importance in the functional independence of the elderly. Thus, the present research aimed to investigate the effect of cognitive and sensorimotor exercises on the functional balance of the elderly. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed with the intragroup comparison design, as well as pre- and post-test measurement stages in Iran during 2017. A total of 60 elders were chosen through the convenience sampling method. Accordingly, the subjects were matched in four groups after performing the pretest with demographic, physical activity readiness, and Mini-Mental State Examination questionnaires and Tinetti test. Each group performed eight exercise situations lasting for 5-10 seconds by taking the overload principle into account throughout 24 sessions. The statistical population of this research consisted of the elderly living in nursing homes under the supervision of the Welfare Organization of Shiraz, including 875 individuals. In general, 60 subjects were chosen through a voluntary method (age: 61.7 ± 7.6 years old, weight: 65.2± 16.2 kg, and height: 157.7± 6.7 cm). During the data collection, 14 subjects left the study for different reasons. The balance characteristics were measured by the Tinetti test. Finally, statistical analysis was performed through the difference of the scores of measurement stages and by one-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests. Results: The comparison of cognitive, sensorimotor, and combined groups with the control group regarding the dependent variables of the research indicated that cognitive exercises have no significant effect on balance (P=0.103), while the sensorimotor (P=0.002) and combined (P=0.002) exercises were effective on balance. Conclusion: In general, the significance of the balance following sensorimotor and combined exercises compared to the insignificance of cognitive exercises can highlight the importance of sensorimotor exercises in the balance of the elderly living in nursing homes.

During the contemporary period, man has undergone transformations in terms of lifestyle, social relations, and economic affairs throughout all human history. These changes, in some cases, have had a reversible effect on human health, due to the lack of coordination with the evolutionary processes that man has acquired over the course of tens of thousands of years of social evolution. One of these dimensions is the mental health of the community; among other things, the mental health of the elderly is of particular importance due to human capital and future generations. In this research, the main goal is to achieve the current state of mental health of the elderly living in the home (in the neighbourhood) and living in the nursing home and compare these two. The concept of mental health in this research is based on various approaches, from the point of view of global health ontologists and role theorists (Conrad Lorenz), self-actualisation and realization (Yong and Allport), humanists (Maslow), the network of sustainable social networks Adler), theories of psychoanalysis (Freud, Ericsson, Kurt Levine, Carl Rogers) and theories with other approaches have been suggested. The concepts and variables used in this research are mental health and ageing and 28-GHQ measurement tools, which are components of depression, anxiety, social functioning and physical condition of the elderly living in the home and the nursing home. The research method is Ali-Comparative and 100 non-Alzheimer's sample of 50 men and women from Tabriz and 50 men and women from Urmia, including 100 people, 50 people living at home and 50 people living in nursing homes. In analysing data, descriptive and inferential statistics and t-test were used. The results of this study revealed that the mental health of men living in nursing homes has a better mental health status than the women living in nursing homes; and, conversely, women living in the home have a higher mental health status than men living at home.
