PENGARUH LATIHAN KESEIMBANGAN TERHADAP RISIKO JATUH PADA LANSIA DI UPT PESANGGRAHAN PMKS MOJOPAHIT MOJOKERTO

Physiologically, people with advanced age will experience muscle weakness, resulting in physical changes in the musculoskeletal system and nerve. Interference in both systems can be a balance disorder. When people with advanced age experience a balance disorder in activities, they are at risk of risking injury due to falls. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of balance training on the risk of falling in the elderly. This study used the Quasy Experimental design with the research design plan Ones GroupsPretest-posttest Design. The number of population in this study were all elderly in the Pesanggrahan PMKS Mojopahit Mojokerto. The number of samples is 12 people. The researcher gave the balance training intervention to the respondent 2 times a week for 2 weeks. After the intervention, the results of the intervention were measured with a falling risk assessment questionnaire. To find out the magnitude of the effect of balance training on the risk of falls in the elderly, univariate analysis with frequency distribution and bivariate analysis with normality test data were carried out. The risk reduction test results fell on the elderly before and after being given balance training using the paired T test. The results showed that P value = 0.001 <0.05, which means that there was a significant difference between the risk of falling in the elderly before and after the intervention because of significant values a <0.05 means that H1 is accepted means that there is an effect of balance training on the Risk of Falling in the Elderly Age of the Pesanggrahan PMKS Mojopahit Mojokerto.
