Objective: This study aimed to explain the nursing care of the elderly with impaired physical mobility through joint exercise intervention, such as performing the Muslim prayer movement or Salat.
Methods:The quasi-experimental study examined the effect of Muslim prayer movement on elderly with impaired physical mobility. Muslim prayer movements were performed for 5 weeks, once a day, and the materials used were an MP3 player, a stopwatch, and a goniometer.Results: Evaluation using Berg Balance Test showed an increase in the score from 32 to 47.
Conclusion:This intervention can be performed by the elderly five times a day to maintain joint mobility and balance. The nurses need to provide motivation to the elderly to pray five times a day to maintain their joint function.
