“… 2 , 3 ) The lower limb muscle strength is strongly positively correlated with body balance in older adults. 17 ) Strength and balance are often significant contributors to mobility limitations, and aerobic capacity, often measured as maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2max ) or peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak ), also correlates with self-reported difficulty and disability and timed functional performance in older adults. 18 )…”

Background/Purpose: Aging causes locomotive syndrome (LS), which is characterized by difficulty in walking. The present study determined the effects of locomotion training and regular aerobic exercise programs on the aerobic capacity of older nursing home residents with LS stage 1.Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 24 participants aged 60-80 years with LS stage 1 residing in a single nursing home in Surabaya, Indonesia. The participants were randomly assigned to either the locomotion training group (LTG) or the control group (CG).Both the groups performed 30 min of a daily group-based aerobic exercise program for 8 weeks.The LTG performed additional locomotion training three times weekly, with three sets per session, gradually increasing to five sets per session according to the participant's tolerance. Two-minute walking test (2MWT) values before and after the 8-week intervention were determined in both the groups and converted to maximum oxygen consumption values (VO2max).Results: After 8 weeks of intervention, a significant increase in VO2max was observed in both the groups (both p <0.05). The LTG showed a more significant improvement in VO2max (p <0.05) compared to the CG. Conclusion:The study results demonstrated the positive effect of 8 weeks of locomotion training and regular aerobic exercise programs in improving the aerobic capacity of older adult nursing home residents with LS stage 1.

“…From the researcher's point of view, the reason behind the emergence of the highest percentage of participants in the category of moderate and high risk of falling are that the participants in the study suffer from more than one disease, use of more than one medication and the lack of regular exercise by the participants in the study, all these factors make a person vulnerable to falling at a moderate to high rate. Valentina et al, (2019) they found in a study conducted in Indonesia that (20.5%) had a high risk for falls, (35.9%) had a moderate risk for falls and (43.6%) had a low risk for fall (. Valentina et al, 2019).…”

Background: With advancing age, we notice that the functional and physiological capacity of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems begins to decline gradually, which has a noticeable impact on the motor activity. This age-related deterioration significantly contributes to falls and frequent falls among the elderly. 6611 elderly people die daily as a result of falls, and thus falls become one of the most important public health problems in several countries of the world.Aims of the study: to find out corelation between the risk of falls and the social and demographic characteristics of elderly diabetic patients aged 60 years and over.Methodology: A correlation design was conducted to study the association between risk for fall and sociodemographic attributes among elderly diabetic patients at In the Endocrinology and Diabetes Center affiliated to Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital in Al-Muthanna Governorate from 18 / December /2021 to 1 /April /2022. A non-probability (purposive) sample of 107 elderly diabetic patients from Diabetes center. To measure the association between risk for fall and socio demographic attributes, the researcher used a questionnaire that consist of (7) items related to socio demographic attributes and to measure the risk for fall the researcher used the berg balance scale that included ( 14) items . To analyze the results, the researcher used descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (hi-squared) test was used.Results: (37.4%) of participants within the age group (60-64) years old. (49.5%) was men, (50.5%) was women. Illiterate (33.6%), (64.5%) of the participants are married, (37.4%) are unemployed, (94.4%) are live with family and (59.8%) are live in Urban. (48.6%) of participants have moderate risk for fall. There was significant relationship between the risk of fall with age, occupation, place of residency. Conclusion:The study concluded that some of socio-demographic characteristic such as age, and occupation and place of residency Increase the risk of falling among elderly diabetic patients while there is no association between the risk of fall and with gender, level of education, marital status, living status among elderly diabetic patients. Recommendations:The study recommended the importance of implementing educational programs on fall prevention in all centers visited by the elderly and the elderly home, because the country lacks such programs to reduce the incidence of falls. Conducting more research on the topic of falls to detect the risk factors of falls among the elderly to reduce these cases.

“…12 As a correction for the ageing process, the numbers acquired from the leg dynamometer are increased by 10% in the elderly. 13 The Time Up and Go Test (TUGT) is a simple test that aims to assess functional status such as mobility, balance, walking ability, and the risk of falls in the elderly. 14 The time measurement instrument uses a Seiko brand stopwatch with an accuracy of 0.01 seconds.…”

Background: Elderly is someone who has reached the age of 60 years and over. Along with increasing age, a person will experience physical changes in the musculoskeletal system, which causes a decrease in the number of muscle fibers and muscle mass. This can result in a decrease in muscle strength, especially in the leg muscles, which is one of the factors that can affect the balance of the human body. The decreased dynamic balance will result in the risk of injury in the elderly. Objective: The aim of this study was to prove the relationship of leg muscle strength and dynamic balance in the elderly. Methods: The design of this study was a cross sectional study conducted in April 2021 with a population of all elderly people in Banjar Jasan, Desa Sebatu, Kecamatan Tegalalang, Kabupaten Gianyar, that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, so that 46 samples were obtained. Measurement of muscle strength using a Leg Dynamometer and dynamic balance using the TUG test. Data analyzed using computer software, namely the Pearson test to determine the relationship of leg muscle strength and dynamic balance. Results: The results showed that from 46 elderly there was a relationship of leg muscle strength and dynamic balance using the Pearson test with p results of 0.001 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of -0.819 (r > 0.05) which indicates a very strong correlation. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a very strong and negative relationship between leg muscle strength and dynamic balance in the elderly.
