Decreased muscle strength is a musculoskeletal disorder in the elderly, resulting in slow movements and impaired physical mobility. Physical changes that occur in the elderly cause the risk of falling. This study analyzes the ankle strategy exercise's effect on static balance in the elderly at Regional Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) Griya Werdha Surabaya.   This study was Pre-Experimental with One Group Pre-Post Test Design. From the population, there were thirty-five respondents by simple random sampling. This study's independent variable was ankle strategy exercises with frequency three times a week within a month. The dependent variable was a static balance with the instrument Time Up Go (TUG) test. The authors analyzed the data with the Wilcoxon test. The study results showed a significant effect of the ankle strategy exercise on static balance in the elderly (p=0,000). The result showed a decrease in the number of elderly who have the high-risk of falling before the ankle strategy exercise (60% of elderly have a high risk of falling) and after the intervention (34% of elderly have a decreased risk of falling).   The elderly should do the ankle strategy exercise independently or with assistant three times a week to improve their static balance and decrease their high-risk of falls.

Patients with hypertension in the elderly often experience non-compliance in the treatment process. In addition, they also experience difficulty in controlling themselves, which is known as the locus of control. An unhealthy lifestyle in the elderly tends to have low self-efficacy, which has an impact on non-adherence to treatment. Therefore, this study aims to identify the dominant factors associated with medication adherence in the elderly with hypertension. The study design was correlational analytic with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were 36 elderly people with a diagnosis of hypertension who were selected using a total sampling technique. The questionnaire used a multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLCS) form C, Self-efficacy for Managing Hypertension, MMAS-8 (Morisky Medical Adherence Scale-8 Items). Data analysis using Pearson Product Moment static test and Linear Regression. In this study, it was found that locus of control and medication adherence had a significant relationship with p-value=0.005, and r-value =0.460, while self-efficacy and medication adherence had a significant relationship with p-value= 0.001 and r-value= 0.527. The most dominant variable of medication adherence was self-efficacy (p=0.02; B=0.335). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the elderly with hypertension who adhere to medication have a good locus of control and high self-efficacy. Adherence to taking medication can be improved by providing health education and increasing self-efficacy through support from family.
