“…These conditions are in line with research (Mat et al, 2018) indicating that Otago training for six months caused no reduction in the symptoms of chronic diseases, such as osteoarthritis, affecting the elderly. These results differ from those of other studies (Bjerk et al, 2019) which reported that Otago training-based training programs can improve physical health but cause no significant increase in the mental health status.…”

Falls are a serious consequence of declining physical function. Otago exercise is a strength and balance training program designed to prevent falls and enhance health status among the elderly. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a 12-week Otago exercise intended to reduce the risk of falls and health status among the elderly with chronic illness in the social elderly institution. This quasi-experimental study employed a pre- and post-test design using a control group. The study involved an intervention group (21 respondents) and a control group (21 respondents). The sample used in this study were elderly living in a social elderly institution. The sample was selected using simple random sampling. The data were analyzed using Mann–Whitney test, independent t-test, and Chi-square test. Otago exercise significantly reduced the respondents’ risk of falling and enhanced their health status. Significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the risk of fall (p= 0.041) and health status (p= 0.011). Otago exercise significantly improves the health status and reduces the risk of falling among elderly with chronic illness. The exercise can be recommended for older adults with chronic illness in social elderly institutions and communities. Abstrak Efektivitas Latihan Otago terhadap Status Kesehatan dan Risiko Jatuh pada Lansia dengan Penyakit Kronik. Jatuh adalah konsekuensi serius dari penurunan fungsi fisik. Latihan Otago adalah program latihan kekuatan dan keseimbangan yang didesain untuk mencegah jatuh dan meningkatkan status kesehatan pada lansia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi efek 12 minggu latihan Otago untuk menurunkan risiko jatuh dan meningkatkan status kesehatan pada lansia dengan penyakit kronik di Panti Sosial lansia. Penelitian Quasi-eksperimental ini menggunakan pre-post dengan kelompok kontrol. Kelompok intervensi dan kontrol masing-masing terdiri dari 21 responden. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah lansia yang tinggal di UPT Kesejahteraan Sosial Lanjut Usia Budi Agung Kupang. Teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah simpel random sampling. Data dianalisis menggunakan Mann-Whitney test, Independent t-test dan Chi-square test. Latihan Otago secara signifikan menurunkan risiko jatuh dan meningkatkan status kesehatan. Ada perbedaan signifikan antara kedua kelompok dalam hal risiko jatuh (p= .041) dan status kesehatan (p= 0.011). Latihan Otago secara signifikan menurunkan risiko jatuh dan meningkatkan status kesehatan pada lansia dengan penyakit kronik.

KEYWORDSco-design, user centered design, ageing in place, elderly, older adults 2 Abstract Background: Co-design in healthcare has become mainstream. Co-design with end-users can improve patient satisfaction, outcomes and reduce the cost of care. As populations age, there is a growing interest to involve the elderly in the co-design of health technology to maintain their well-being and independence. However, it is less clear if co-designed technology improves health and well-being outcomes. The aim of this study is to evaluate co-designed technology that supports elders to age in place.Methods: We conducted a systematic review to: i) investigate the health and well-being outcomes of co-designed technology for elders (≥ 60 years); ii) to identify co-design approaches and contexts where they are applied and; iii) to identify barriers and facilitators of the co-design process with elders. Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Science Citation Index (Web of Science), Scopus, OpenGrey and Business Source Premiere databases using MeSH terms and key words. Results: We identified 14,649 articles of which 34 studies were included. Studies were from Europe (n=28), Australia (n=4), America (n=1) and Canada (n=1). Twenty of the 32 studies targeted older adults (≥ 60 years old) and 14 targeted specific medical conditions or elder-related issues. Technological solutions included robots, online applications and software, smart televisions, computer games for exercise, global positioning solutions, smart home systems and design of care pathways.Five studies reported health and well-being outcomes and were extracted. The health and well-being impact of co-designed technology was inconsistent. Co-design processes varied greatly and in their intensity of elder involvement. Common facilitators of and barriers to the co-design process included the building of relationships between stakeholders, stakeholder knowledge of problems and solutions, as well as expertise in the co-design methodology.Conclusions: The co-design approach was applied in the design of a diverse set of technologies. The effect of co-designed technology on health and well-being was rarely studied and it was difficult to ascertain its impact. Future co-design efforts need to address barriers unique to the elderly population. More evaluation of the impact of co-designed technologies' is needed and standardisation

Facing the demographic changes is our common responsibility as researchers of all scientific disciplines. The forecasts based on statistical data show that in many countries in the nearest future the highest growth in population will be in the segment of 65-year-olds and older people. With age, mobility, intellectual ability and spatial orientation are reduced. Creating a proper living environment and public spaces to conduct prevention and rehabilitation training would have a positive impact on shaping and maintaining the quality of life of residents. The purpose of this multidisciplinary research was to create a model training for people with motor dysfunctions together with an optimal design of environment to conduct it on daily basis. Currently, a great emphasis in the design of urban areas is placed on the physical and social activity of children and youth (playgrounds, skate parks, sports equipment), as well as people with a high degree of physical fitness (sports fields and equipment, outdoor gyms, running paths, nordic walking, cross-country skiing). The aim of the work was to explore the possibilities and prove effectiveness of basic functional training with sensory elements in non-standard activity spaces intended for people with reduced low physical activity and motor disorders, not requiring additional devices, using elements of nature, such as terrain, water, greenery - as well as elements of small architecture.
