“…Falls are frequent and disabling issues among older adults that influence their health, independence, and quality of life (Hu et al, 2016; Huang et al, 2017; Ku et al, 2013; Li et al, 2005). It has been estimated that 35% to 40% of older adults (age 65 years and older) have at least one fall annually and this incidence rate increases with age (Huang et al, 2017; Li et al, 2005; Tsang and Fu, 2016).…”

“…A few studies have shown that Tai Chi Chuan is effective in preventing falls and improving balance, muscle strength, proprioception, and endurance in older adults (Hu et al, 2016; Lan et al, 2013; Logghe et al, 2010). For example, Gallant et al (2017) demonstrated that a 12-week Tai Chi Chuan program can significantly reduce the risk of falling in participants.…”

Fear of falling and balance impairment are prevalent in older adults and cause major morbidities for this population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Tai Chi Chuan on balance and fear of falling in community-dwelling older adults. This study was a single-blind randomized control trial. Sixty older adults were randomly allocated into two groups using a 4-cell random block design. The participants of intervention group were trained in Tai Chi Chuan for eight weeks, twice a week, and 55 min in each session. Balance and fear of falling were assessed by Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Tinetti test and Falls Efficacy Scale International in baseline and after 8 weeks. After eight weeks of intervention, the mean scores of the TUG and Tinetti scales in the intervention group were improved significantly compared to the baseline and the control group (P<0.001). Moreover, the intervention group showed a significant reduction in fear of falling scores (P<0.001), while those in the control group remained unchanged. Tai Chi Chuan effectively improves the balance and fear of falling and could be considered as a practical and useful method for fall prevention in community-dwelling older adults.

Introducción: el envejecimiento de la población es un hecho que conlleva cambios que afectan a la sociedad actual. Este aumento favorece que exista un incremento del número de caídas en las personas mayores. Material y método: el objetivo de esta revisión sistemática es identificar y analizar la efectividad de los programas de ejercicio físico para la prevención de caídas en personas mayores de 65 años. Esta revisión se ha basado en la recopilación de estudios de 2008 a 2018 donde se evaluaban los efectos de programas de ejercicio físico dirigidos a la reducción de caídas en personas mayores. Las bases de datos utilizadas para la revisión han sido PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus y Web of Science. De esta búsqueda se obtuvieron un total de 19 estudios experimentales. Resultados: los resultados muestran una relación positiva entre las personas que realizan estos programas de ejercicio y su mejora en el equilibrio, la fuerza, y la marcha.

Incorporated research studies were found by using seven electronic databases on nursing and related health professional research (full text databases: Cinahl, Ebsco, Nursing Ovid, ProQuest STM+ Hospital Collection -Medline, Science Direct and citation databases PubMed and Scopus) entering keywords: accidental falls, effectiveness, fall prevention programs, institution. Other search criteria were: full text, reviewed publications, English language, human subject (human) and research results published within the last 5 years (namely 2011-2016).Twelve research studies meeting the required criteria were incorporated in the final review. The most often mentioned intervention strategy was the education of patients and staff. Whether the programs, which were focused on educational influence, are effective depends on areas involving the so called "soft-factors", i.e. compliance, leadership, and proper team training, along with information technology support, both with staff and -in certain fields -patients.Curriculums of the currently preferred multifaceted intervention program involve education. The focus and course of the education process should correspond with the information from the field of fall prevention, gained by evidence-based nursing, and respect the individual assessment of each patient, as is stated by most authors of related research studies.
