Multifactorial exercise and dance-based interventions are effective in reducing falls risk in community-dwelling older adults: A comparison study.

摘要: Abstract Background Falls and injuries related to falls in older adults are a significant health care issue that affects the elderly population. Research suggests exercise interventions can be effective improving risk factors. question Are there differences reduction between two (The Lebed Method - TLM Stay Active Independent for Life – SAIL) community-dwelling adults? Methods A quasi-experimental pre- post-test design was used this study. One hundred sixty-three individuals aged 60–79 years of age participated Assessments (using physiological profile assessment), simple reaction time, bilateral knee extension strength, proprioception, balance, visual acuity, mobility timed-up-and-go, TUG) were performed. Analysis covariance conducted compare interventions. Pre-intervention assessments as covariate. Results SAIL participants’ reduced more than TLM. Reaction TUG times faster participants. However, those who had greater strength both legs compared Significance Overall, reducing adults. The number improved factors attained with program multifactorial may at risk. since also showed better dance-based
