Want some ideas for balance training? Sit-to-stand, standing heel raises, toe raises, toe taps on a step, hinge and reach, and side stepping might be some options.
Example beginner balance and lower extremity strength program: Sit-to-stand Standing heel raises Seated toe raises Toe taps on step Hinge and reach forward Side stepping As many repetitions as possible in 1 minute. Repeat twice. Use counter or support object as needed Progressions: Lower seat, load it up, or hover sit-to-stand Single leg heel raise Walking on heels Step ups on step One leg hinge and reach Sideways mini-lunge includes a picture of a man bendng forward slightly at the waist with arms reaching out overhead.

Another option is to put it in quotes e.g., "women's health initiative" to look for a phrase. I searched SCOPUS which allows you to enter author first and last name separately. there were three results (below), only one of which is relevant and it is the same article I found in pubmed:
