Effects of clear visual input and change in standing sequence on standing sway related to falls during night toilet use

Abstract

It is important for nurses to train older patients to turn on the light and perform standing pattern B, when going to the bathroom at night. In addition, it is advisable to confirm the placement of distinct visual markers on the way to the bathroom.

Residual effects of zolpidem, triazolam, rilmazafone and placebo in healthy elderly subjects: a randomized double-blind study

“…Velde et al [13] reported that by decreasing or stopping hypnotics, which are thought to be one of the FRID, they morning [8][9][10]. The hypnotic effects that are seen when excreting at night or early in the morning may affect falls.…”

“…In alertness, the results of rilmazafone were significantly worse than those of the triazolam (p<0.05). (1) Sleep quality Good (11), bad (2) Well being Good (4), not bad (4), fair (9), not good (0), bad (1) …”

“…The association between the use of benzodiazepine (BZ) hypnotics in older adults and the risk of hip fracture is well established [4][5][6][7]. Quite a few fall events occur in the bedroom and the toilet/bathroom during the night or early morning [8][9][10]. However, there are other reports that the insomnia itself is more related to those accidents rather than the use of hypnotics [11][12][13].…”

Effects of consultation for voiding behavior on nocturnal urination status of older adults living alone: A preliminary study

“…Annual age-induced motor function decline may be observed (8)(9)(10); therefore, the time staying in the toilet may be prolonged by the deterioration of voiding behaviors. When motor function deteriorates due to paralysis or muscle weakness, older adults easily lose truncal balance when wearing and removing underwear and clothes, cleaning the buttocks, and standing from the toilet seat (11)(12)(13). This functional deterioration may gradually manifest as difficulties in performing repeated joint movements, such as dressing and standing.…”
