Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction Balance exercise is an important element that prevent fall in older age people observed throughout the world. balance training programme for old age people, including multi task exercises, was designed and developed based on well established principles of exercise and on the knowledge that balance control relies on the interaction of several physiological systems, as well as interaction with environmental factors and the performed task. Objective This study aims to assess the effectiveness of balance exercises on fall prevention among older people. Methods The research design selected for this study was experimental research design. The investigator used Randomized control trial to select a sample of 88 exprimental 44 and control 44 of old age people for this study. In this study socio demographic data tool, POMA Tinetti performance oriented mobility assessment were used to measure and observe the study accurately. Fall rate was measured with the POMA tool. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferencial statistic. Results In the group 1 i.e. experimental group, 8 18.2 cases were high fall risk, 13 29.5 medium fall risk and 23 52.3 low fall risk. In the control group group 2 , 29 65.9 were high fall risk, 10 22.7 medium fall risk and 5 11.4 low fall risk. In the experimental group the high fall risk is very low and low fall risk is very high in comparison to control group. The difference was highly significant p=0.000 . This implied the balance exercise on fall prevention is highly effective. Conclusion This study concluded that significant increasing the strength, prevent fall and maintaining the balance among older people in a 4 week balance exercise program.
