Introduction: One of the causes of disability among elderly is falling. The ability to predict the risk of falls among this group is important so that the appropriate treatment can be provided to reduce the risk. The objective of this study was to compare the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, & Injuries (STEADI) Initiative from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and The Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool (JHFRAT) from the Johns Hopkins University. Methods: This study used the STEADI tool, JHFRAT, Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC), and The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). The study areas were in community and elderly home in both public and private sectors and the samples were 427 after cleaning. Results: The results for the STEADI and JHFRAT tools were similar where the respondents at highest risk of falling among women (STEADI: 49%; JHFRAT: 3.4%), in Bandung area (63.5%; 5.4%), in private homes (63.3%; 4.4%), non-schools (54.6%; 6.2%), aged 80 or older (64.8%; 6.7%) and not working (48.9%;3.3%). The regression analysis indicated that there was a significant relationship between the risk factors for falls in the elderly determined by the JHFRAT and STEADI tools: namely, region, type of home, age, disease history, total GDS and ABC averages. Conclusion: Despite the similarity in the risk factors obtained through these assessments, there was a significant difference between the results for the STEADI tool and the JHFRAT. The test strength was 43%. However, STEADI is more sensitive to detect fall risk smong elderly than JHFRATKeywords: Activities-Specific Balance Confidence scale, elderly, fall risk,The Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool, the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, & Injuries

Guel dance was a traditional dance based on the history narrative of Gayo, District- inspired by the legend of the siblings Sengedaand BenerMerie who were looking for white elephants that to be presented to a princess. Therefore, some elements of the dance movements reflected the character of the elephant. Besides the aspect of form, every element of Guel dance movements also contained the philosophical values that contain moral messages and social values. Currently, Guel dance performances creations are increasingly present in the middle of the community, The forms of Guel dance creations sometimes leave the standard provisions as a standard form of the dance itself. This study aimed to describe the philosophical values of the Guel dance movement in Takengon, Aceh Tengah District, by using the theory approach of motion dance structure fromKaepleer. The method used in this study was descriptive interpretative approach, namely research directly related to the community (participatory observation)for data retrieval. This study concluded that the Guel dance was a traditional dance which has a standardize story structure and dance motion philosophy. It implied the moral teachings, religious teachings, Guel dance has a message about loyalty, responsibility, fraternity, and it is not only done by relatives or family nut must be done in relationship for others.

Kapper (Estonia) focuses mainly on the twentieth century, basing her discussion on information from folk dance collectors and researchers connected to the folk-dance movement. She surveys round dance forms described or referred to as part of this information, and discusses the relationship between round dances and other dances in a local community, particularly if that community was known as a stronghold of traditional dance. She also refers in brief to the folk-dance movement. In this way, she includes two of the groups mentioned above: the ‘dancing crowds’ and the folk dancers, and discusses the place round dancing has within each.

This study aims to form a choreography rooted in the motive movement of the Karo traditional dance in the form of the modern choreography Gegeh Gundala-Gundala. The three basic motives of the Karo traditional dance, namely Ertimbang, Bunga tan kawes kemuhen kudas kuteruh, and Rakut Meteguh are used as the basis for the development of motion with the method of developing the elements of motion, using the constructive dance creation method popularized by Jacqueline Smith such as the process of exploration, improvisation, composition, and evaluation. This creation process has formed a modern choreography rooted in new traditional values such as the theory conveyed by Soedarsono that modern dance is freedom in expressing movement techniques on stage, such as the Gegeh Gundala-Gundala choreography. The method in this research is. While the method of this research uses qualitative methods, describing a narrative study of dance creation including literature study, observation, studio work, and documentation. From the process of creating the Gegeh Gundala-Gundala choreography, a new and unique form was obtained, the result of the creative process of exploration, improvisation, composition, and evaluation and supported by the process of developing motion by utilizing elements of motion such as energy, space and time. From these processes a modern choreography was formed, rooted in the traditional Karo dance entitled Gegeh Gundala-Gundala. Obtained a new and unique form, the result of the creative process of exploration, improvisation, composition, and evaluation and supported by the process of developing motion by utilizing elements of motion such as energy, space and time. From these processes a modern choreography was formed, rooted in the traditional Karo dance entitled Gegeh Gundala-Gundala.

Zusammenfassung. Mit der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurde der Zusammenhang von Sturzangst (Survey of Activities and Fear of Falling in the Elderly: SAFE), funktionalem Gleichgewicht/Mobilität (Timed-Up-and-Go-Test, TUG; Gehgeschwindigkeit) und körperlicher Funktionsfähigkeit (SAFE Aktivitäten, Reduktionen; SF-36) bei älteren Erwachsenen untersucht. Darüber hinaus sollte die Mediatorfunktion sturzassoziierter Selbstwirksamkeit (Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale) in einem Strukturgleichungsmodell an 91 Erwachsenen (17 Männer, 74 Frauen) im Alter von 60 bis 93 Jahren ohne Sturzhistorie geprüft werden. Man findet signifikant negative Pfade von der Subskala SAFE Angst auf die sturzassoziierte Selbstwirksamkeit (β = -0.931; t = -8.117, p.001), d. h. dass ältere Menschen ohne aktuelle Sturzbiographie und nur geringer Sturzangst eine hohe sturzassoziierte Selbstwirksamkeit berichten. Ebenso ist der Effekt von Sturzangst auf die körperliche Funktionsfähigkeit hochsignifikant (β = -0.432, t = -2.686, p = .007). Für die sturzassoziierte Selbstwirksamkeit liegt ein hoher Zusammenhang mit dem funktionalen Gleichgewicht/Mobilität vor (β = 0.482, t = 2.050, p = .040), jedoch nicht mit der körperlichen Funktionsfähigkeit (β = 0.118, t = 0.916, p = .359). Für den Zusammenhang zwischen Sturzangst und funktionalem Gleichgewicht/Mobilität liegt eine vollständige Mediation durch die sturzassoziierte Selbstwirksamkeit vor. Der signifikante Einfluss von funktionalen Messungen und Verhaltensdaten auf die Sturzangst verdeutlicht die Notwendigkeit von Interventionen, die auf die Stärkung der sturzassoziierten Selbstwirksamkeit fokussieren, um so zur Reduktion von Sturzangst beizutragen.
