“…The results showed that early detection of fall risk using BBS (Berg Balance Scale), namely the majority of the elderly are included in the low risk of falling vulnerable aged 60-65 years, where at that age the elderly are still actively carrying out activities. In the elderly who have a lot of activity or who have high physical mobility will increase the control of their physical balance, so the risk of falling is very low 8 .…”

Falling is one thing that cannot be avoided by everyone, especially the elderly who are affected by a decrease in muscle strength which is one of the factors for falling. The purpose of this study is to early detect the risk of falling in the elderly using the BBS (Berg Balance Scale) questionnaire and find out the age group of the elderly who are prone to experiencing high falling risks. The method used in this study is descriptive research with sampling techniques using purposive. The risk of falling is measured using a BBS (Berg Balance Scale) observation sheet. The results showed that respondents aged 60-74 years with a total of 77 people included in the low fall risk category, there were 64 elderly (83.1%), medium fall risk 12 elderly (15.6%) and respondents with a high risk of falling 1 elderly (1.3%). The conclusion of this study is that as you get older, especially 66 years old and above, the risk of falling will also increase, so it takes awareness of yourself and your family to pay attention to each other to be able to avoid falling.

“…Daily energy expenditure declines progressively through adult life. 9 As the maximal heart rate achieved decreases with age, the change in heart rate is also less thus decreasing the physiological cost index. This is supported by the study done by Demetra D. Christou and Douglas R. Seal in May 2008 who in their study concluded that maximal heart rate decreases with age which is related to reduced ßadrenergic responsiveness, and a decrease in the intrinsic heart rate (HR int) .…”

“…It is important to keep this concept in mind that elderly individuals already have less physiological reserve and they perform daily routines closer to the functional performance threshold. 9 Thus they shouldn't be taxed upto their maximal threshold for any activity. Thus with this study analysis we can say that for submaximal levels of exertion in elderly, the energy expenditure is less and as their endurance and performance improves, the energy expenditure will further reduce in accordance with the correlation results.…”

Introduction:It is diffi cult to measure energy expenditure and oxygen consumption in elderly on a daily clinical basis due to expensive & cumbersome equipments required to measure it. Physiological cost index is relatively easy to perform, safe and cost eff ective and uses a mode of exercise that is integral to their activities of daily living.Aim: To fi nd the physiological cost index (PCI) of 6 minute walk test and its correlation with 6 minute walk distance in elderly.Study Design: Its a correlational study conducted on 60 individuals above 60 years of age during a period of one year.Study Procedure: The 6 minute walk test was conducted along a long 30m hallway. The distance walked and heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and rate of perceived exertion were recorded pre and post test. Using the data obtained from 6 minute walk test, PCI was calculated.Statistical Analysis : Pearson's rank order correlation coeffi cient test and t-test was used to analyse the data. Results:The mean PCI is 0.17±0.12 beats/m in elderly in our study. The mean 6 minute walk distance is 282.07±63.14 m. There exists a correlation between physiological cost index and 6 minute walk distance in elderly individuals which is statistically signifi cant. Conclusion:Physiological Cost Index is decreased in elderly. There exists a correlation between physiological cost index and 6 minute walk distance in elderly.

“…Disability is the state of being unable to fulfill a role that is normal (depending on age, gender, and social and cultural factors) for an individual, due to an impairment [1]. It is an umbrella term for impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions; the term denotes the negative aspects of the interaction between an individual (with a health condition) and that individual's contextual factors (environmental and personal factors) as defined by the World Health Organization, International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health [2].…”

Purpose In this study, it is aimed to determine personal wellbeing and social participation levels across different physical disability types and levels of mobility. Methods A sample of 85 individuals with physical disabilities, excluding those with mental disabilities were included. Sociodemographics, mobility of the participants, cause, duration of disability were recorded. Personal Wellbeing Index-Adult (PWI-A) scale was used for the assessment of wellbeing and Keele Assessment of Participation (KAP) for social participation. Results Female, single, unemployed subjects and individuals with neurologic disability showed significantly higher median KAP-scores(p = 0.009, p = 0.050, p<0.001, p = 0.050, respectively).The median KAP-score of the independently mobile group was significantly lower compared to the other two groups (p = 0.001). The factors affecting KAP were determined as employment, mobility level and personal wellbeing (p = 0.002, p = 0.024, p = 0.050, respectively). Conclusion Mobility level, employment and personal wellbeing are the determinants of social participation in people with disabilities. Neurological disability, female gender, being single, unemployment and mobility limitations are factors that reduce social participation.
