简要总结
The aim of the study is to evaluate the balance and dual-task activities of Kinetic Brain Exercises in healthy elderly individuals living in nursing homes.
详细描述
A total of 33 people, 4 women and 29 men between the ages of 65-80 (73.88±3.69 years) completed in the research. Demographic and clinic information of the individuals were recorded and Dual Task Performance Tests for dual task activities, Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) , Functional Reach Test for balance, 10 Meter Walk Test for walking speed, Fall Efficacy Scale (FES) for the fear of falling, Dual Task Questionnaire for to determine individuals difficulties during dual tasks and World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument- Older Adults Module (WHOQOL-OLD) was used for quality of life. Individuals were applied an exercise program of 40 minutes, 2 days a week for 8 weeks. Individuals were divided into 2 groups. Kinetic Brain Exercises and Core Stabilization Exercises were applied to Group 1 (n=17), and only Core Stabilization Exercises were applied to Group 2 (n=16).
