“…The result of the study is consistent with the study of Vechin et al (2015) The result of the study is consistent with the study done by Motalebi, Cheong, Iranagh, and Mohammadi (2018) that there is an improvement of lower limb strength and dynamic balance among the institutional elderly participants after receiving foot exercise training. Another study which supports the findings was conducted by Maritz, Patel, Varughese, and Yecco (2013).…”

“…The result supports the findings as shown in table 4 which shows that those participants who were engaged in foot exercise have stronger lower limb and better balance function. The result of this study is consistent with the study done by Motalebi, Cheong, Iranagh, and Mohammadi (2018) which found out that there is a significant improvement in lower-limb muscle strength and balance among the elderly after intervention of twelve weeks of progressive elastic resistance training on lower limb. Another study which support the findings was done by Josephson and Williams (2017) which found out that intervention group with strength training program significantly improved in balance control with a mean of 3.33 point when compared to the control group with mean of .83 point.…”

Introduction: The primary aim of this study was to determine the effects of foot exercise (senam kaki diabetes) on lower limb strength and balance among the elderly. Methods: A quasi-experimental interrupted time-series design with control group was utilized. Participants were chosen through purposive sampling technique. Consequently, 60 participants met the criteria set for the study. Simple random sampling was used to divide the participants into experimental and control groups with 30 participants in each group. Results: Lower limb strength and balance of the participants in the experimental group gradually improved in every week of intervention compared to those in the control group. Further, the result shows that age, sex, and body weight did not affect the lower limb strength and balance of the elderly who underwent foot exercise. Discussion: Based on the findings, foot exercise was effective in improving lower limb strength and balance among the elderly. The longer the elderly will engage in senam kaki diabetes, irrespective of age sex and body weight, the better is their balance and the strength of their lower limb.

“…Além disso, a carga foi um elástico e não caneleiras, como no presente estudo. 23 As intervenções de exercícios parecem ter um papel no aumento da força muscular e na melhoria do desempenho físico, embora não pareçam aumentar consistentemente a massa muscular, em indivíduos idosos frágeis, sedentários e residentes da comunidade. 14 Com base nos estudos realizados por Faria et al 24 o fortalecimento muscular foi efetivo em melhorar a FM, a mobilidade funcional e o equilíbrio de indivíduos idosos.…”

A Síndrome do Imobilismo (SI), frequente entre idoso, ocorre no indivíduo acamado por período prolongado, acarretando perda de força muscular (FM) e consequentemente morbidade e mortalidade. Objetivo: Analisar ganho de FM necessário para reaquisição de ortostatismo em idosos com SI temporário. Métodos: Trinta idosos com SI foram triados pelos critérios de inclusão/ exclusão, e 14 idosos obedeceram aos critérios. Eles foram avaliados quanto à FM (em quilogramas) dos músculos quadríceps e glúteos, e posteriormente realizaram sessões de fortalecimento. Ao final do programa, realizou-se tentativa de ortostatismo. Aqueles que readquiriram a postura foram chamados de G1; aqueles que não readquiriram foram chamados de G2. Analisou-se incremento das cargas, número de sessões necessárias, peso do participante, idade e tempo de imobilismo. Resultados: Dez participantes (71,4%) readquiriram o ortostatismo (G1), obtendo média de 21,4 sessões e incremento de força para quadríceps em média de 6kg, correspondendo a um aumento de 177%; e G2 aumentou em média 4,125kg, aumentando-se 117% (p=0,001). Para m glúteo, houve ganho de FM em média de 2,2kg (aumento de 102%) para G1 e 1,625kg para G2, aumentando-se 39%. (p=0,0002). Houve forte correlação para peso do participante com ganho de FM de quadríceps e glúteos (-0,96 e-0,84 respectivamente) e moderada correlação com idade de G1 e G2 (0,59 e 0,58 respectivamente) e com tempo de imobilismo (0,53 para glúteos e 0,50 para quadríceps). Conclusão: O incremento da FM foi essencial para reaquisição do ortostatismo, e o peso, idade e tempo de imobilismo interferiram na reaquisição desta postura.

“…That is why to develop a healthy community, the healthy lifestyle should be promoted among its members; therefore, the health-related objectives such as encouragement of healthy behaviors and providing healthy social and physical environment should be achieved (23). As aging increases throughout the world (24)(25)(26), resolving the needs and challenges of the elderly is one of the social necessities (27). This highlights the necessity of paying attention to the elderly with stroke.…”

Background: Nowadays, stroke is one of the most important and commonly diagnosed neurological diseases throughout the world. This disease annually causes numerous moralities and disabilities; its high prevalence is reported among the elderly. Objectives: The current study aimed at determining the lifestyle of the elderly with stroke in Ilam, Western Iran. Methods: The current descriptive, cross sectional study was conducted on 200 elderly people with stroke in Ilam, Western Iran by convenience sampling method. The study was conducted by the application of healthy lifestyle questionnaire with confirmed validity and reliability. After data collection, the data were analyzed with SPSS version 16 using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent t test and ANOVA). Results: Findings of the current study showed that the majority of the studied elderly were male (n = 106, 53%) aged 65 -70 years (n = 93, 46.5%), educated up to middle school level (n = 112, 56%), with annual income range of $US72,000 to $US144,000 (n = 117, 58.5%), had no spouse (n = 111, 5.55%) and lived in the city (n = 115, 57.5%). Mean (± standard deviation; SD) of age was 75.56 ± 9.87 years, mean lifestyle score was 37.54 ± 3.91, 9.55 ± 1.79, 24.30 ± 3.36, 18.76 ± 1.79, and 28.04 ± 2.41 in the dimensions of prevention, physical activity and recreational activities and sport, healthy nutrition, stress management, and inter-personal relationships, respectively.Total score of the questionnaire was 118.20 ± 6.00, which indicated a medium score of healthy lifestyle in the elderly. Conclusions:Findings of the current study revealed that the lifestyle condition of the elderly with stroke was in medium level. It was suggested that the therapeutic and health teams, in particular nurses, intervene properly and use nursing care models to enhance the lifestyle of the elderly.
