力量平衡操对预防社区老年人跌倒的效果评价

Evaluation of the effect of power balance exercise on the prevention of falls in the elderly in community

目的:探讨力量平衡操对社区老年人跌倒的影响效果,为预防跌倒的干预措施奠定理论基础。方法:采用方便抽样法选取北蔡镇2014年1月-2015年10月4个社区129例老年人,分为干预组65例和对照组64例。对照组进行常规健康教育,在此基础上干预组增加力量平衡操练习。结果:干预12周后采用功能性步态(FGA)进行评价,干预组总分高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);跌倒情况比较,两组差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:力量平衡操练习能提高社区老年人的平衡能力,从而提高老年人的抗跌倒能力,有效地预防和减少跌倒伤害。

Objective： To explore the effect of power balance exercise on the falls in the elderly in community to lay a theoretical foundation for the prevention of falls. Methods： By system sampling method, 129 elderly patients in 4 communities in Beicai Community were selected and divided into an intervention group with 65 cases and a control group with 64 ones. The control group was given the routine health education, and the intervention group was added with the power balance exercise based on the routine health education. Results： After 12 weeks intervention, the scores were evaluated with functional gait assessment（FGA）, the total score of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant（P〈0.05）. In comparison of falls, the difference between the two groups has the statistical significance（P〈0.001）. Conclusion： Power balance exercise can improve the balance ability of the elderly in the community so as to improve the ability of anti-falls and effectively prevent and reduce the falling injury.
