Development of an exercise program for fall prevention for elderly persons in a long‐term care facility

Abstract: Aim:The purpose of this study was to develop an exercise program for elderly individuals in a long-term care facility. Developed through the synthesis of evidence-based nursing with the use of available research related to falls and exercise, the program was designed to increase balance, mobility, and muscle strength in the lower extremities in order to prevent falls and improve the self-efficacy of the patients. Methods: We developed an exercise program consisting of a warm-up, static stretching, muscle stren… Show more

“…[23] For example, exercises that target ankle and hip strength have been shown to lower the risk of falling as measured by the incidence of falls among participants three months post-intervention as determined by functional independence measure scores, and the Fall Efficacy Scale. [24] Deley and colleagues [25] investigated the effects of a one-year aerobic endurance and resistance training program on 40 healthy adults over 70 years of age. The use of a combined training program which included three hours a week of exercise included 24 participants and a control group of 16 participants who did not receive the training program.…”

“…Recent studies have shown the benefits of exercise and physical activity for shortness of breath and continence 16,17 as well as for fall prevention. 18 Formal recommendations by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have existed since 1995 and have been updated in recent years, 7,19 but these primarily address exercise prescription for community-dwelling older adults.…”
