Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare functional balance and probability of fall in elderly with or without history of fall in care centers. Methods: The statistical population of the present study consisted of 30 elderly men and women over 60 years of two elderly nursing centers in rasht. These specimens were selected according to the inclusion criteria and exit criteria. The age range was between 60 and 74 years. Individuals (15 people)were divided into two groups of aged persons (15 persons) and with a history of land (15 people). People who had no history of eating during the last six months have been knocked down in the group without a history of land eating and people who had tripped once or more in the last six months. the evaluation of the balance and the possibility of seniors fall with tests (leaves and time of rise and departure) were carried out. SPSS software was used to analyze the data. from the shayper-vink test to be natural for data distribution, descriptive statistics were used in the form of statistics such as mean, standard deviation, median, change range and direction of data describing and in the deductive statistics section with respect to comparing the variables from independent t-test. Results: Normality test results confirmed normality of data in the variables of performance equilibrium and probability of fall there was a significant difference between functional balance index in the elderly with a history of fall or without the history of fall. there was a meaningful difference between fall risk index in the elderly with a history of fall or without the history of fall. Conclusion: according to the results of this study, individuals with no history of fall in performance balance indices and probability of fall were better than those with history of fall.
Highlights
The Shapiro-Wilk test was used for normal distribution of data; descriptive statistics tests were used in statistics such as Mean±SD, median, and amplitude of changes and describe the inferential data statistics section to the comparison of variables, independent T-test was used
According to the results of the independent t-test, there was a significant difference between the index of probability of fall in the elderly with a history of fall and without a history of fall, that is, the elderly without a history of falls performed the test in less time than the elderly with a history of falls (P0.001)
This study aimed to evaluate and compare functional balance and the probability of falls in the elderly with a history of falls and no history of falls
Summary
The present study was a causal-comparative study that was conducted in the field. The study subjects included 30 elderly men and women over 60 years of age from two nursing homes in Rasht and were selected by convenience sampling. Individuals who had no history of falls during the last six months were in the group without a history of falls. Individuals who had fallen once or more during the previous six months [14] were in the group with a history of falls. Balance and probability of falls in the elderly were assessed by Berg test and TUG test [15]. The code of ethics was received from the Research Institute of Medical Sciences Technology of Guilan University. SPSS statistical software was used for data analysis. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used for normal distribution of data; descriptive statistics tests were used in statistics such as Mean±SD, median, and amplitude of changes and describe the inferential data statistics section to the comparison of variables, independent T-test was used
