Intrinsic And Extrinsic Factors

Physical health problems that often occur in the elderly people, for instance falling down to floor. The physiological changing during the aging process increase the client's risk of falling and having an accident. Most falls occur when moving from a bed, stool, and toilet, when going into or out of the bathroom, tripping over the edge of a carpet or door, slipping on wet surfaces and going downstairs. There are many factors that play a role in the occurrence of falls in the elderly, both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The problems faced by the partners at this time include, there are 20 elderly people at the Social Home of Tresna Werdha Sabai Nan Aluih Sicincin, experiencing rheumatism, 10 seniors have experienced falls in the last 6 months, 35 elderly people experience urinary incontinence, the elderly do not know to minimize the risk of falling balance in the elderly has not been carried out and has not become a priority at the Social Home. Nursing staff identified cooperative elderly people to be provided with balance training with the application of Yoga. Activities were carried out in accordance with elderly guest houses to implement physical distancing due to pandemic Covid-19. Beside that, we provided leaflets of the Yoga’s training, some face masks, snack boxes, and cash for all elderly residents of the Sosial Home.

The risk of falling increases with age. Individuals wearing unadapted shoes present an aggravating risk factor. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of specifically designed balance shoes on balance and postural stability in healthy elderly people compared to that of their usual shoes. In total, 21 healthy individuals aged 65–84 years (76.0 ± 8.0 years) performed balance tests (bipedal with open or closed eyes, unipedal with open eyes, limits of stability, and step cadence) while wearing their (i) personal shoes or (ii) balance shoes (Axis Comfort Development©). Three test sessions were conducted with personal and balance shoes. The first served as the baseline, and the other two were performed after a familiarization period of several days with the personal or balance shoes. The perception of balance shoe efficiency was documented using a questionnaire. The balance shoes significantly improved bipedal balance with closed eyes. Moreover, the familiarization period significantly improved unipedal balance with open eyes. Most subjects felt safer and stabler using balance shoes. The investigated specifically designed balance shoes were effective in elderly individuals in improving postural balance compared to personal shoes. The balance shoes could, therefore, reduce the falling risk in healthy elderly people.

Encouraging elderly people to stay at home as long as possible is associated with a higher risk of social isolation. Nowadays, aging well at home cannot be reduced to the management of physical and cognitive frailties and technologies should also tackle the quality of life of the elderly by fostering their social interactions. However, designing appropriate services and ensuring their adoption remain open questions, to which we try to provide answers at the methodological and instrumental levels. The authors present here a Living Lab approach to design communication services for elderly people at home. They illustrate this approach by describing their participation in a European project aiming at developing and evaluating Social TV services and they conclude with recommendations for the successful socio-technical design of services that foster the social engagement of elderly people.

Sedangkan setelah diberikan intervensi menunjukan hasil yang sama besar yaitu sebanyak 15 responden (50%) memiliki risiko jatuh sedang dan 15 responden (50%) memiliki risiko jatuh rendah. Hasil statistik dengan uji paired t test menunjukkan ada pengaruh latihan keseimbangan fisik lansia dengan kajian jatih pada lansia dengan P value 0,000. Perawat diharapkan mampu mencegah risiko jatuh pada lansia dengan memberikan bekal ilmu pengetahuan kepada petugas panti/ kader tentang pengkajian lansia yang beresiko jatuh yang kemudian untuk melakukan pencegahan pada lansia dengan diberikan latihan keseimbangan fisik.   Kata kunci : Tinetti POMA, latihan keseimbangan fisik   RISK DECREASING FALLS THROUGH TINETTI PERFORMANCE ORIENTED MOBILITY ASSESSMENT (POMA) ASSESSMENT WITH EXERCISEPHYSICAL BALANCE IN ELDERLY   ABSTRACT Aging is a process of slowly disappearing the ability of tissue to repair itself or replace and maintain its normal function so it cannot withstand infections and repair damage suffered. Health problems that often occur in the elderly, one of which is musculoskeletal, which is a decrease in muscle mass and tone, muscle fiber decreases in size, muscle strength decreases. The falling incident in Indonesia was recorded by 115 orphanage residents as many as 30 elderly or around 43.47%. One effort to prevent falls in the elderly is by physical balance training. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of physical balance training with the Tinetti POMA assessment of the decline in the incidence of elderly falls. The design of this study used a pre-experimental method with one group pretest posttest design. The sampling technique in this study used a simple random sampling method and the sample size used Roschoe with a sample of 30 respondents. The results showed that before the intervention was given, the results showed that elderly respondents who had a high risk of falling were 9 respondents (30.0%), and respondents with a moderate risk of falling were 21 respondents (70.0%). Whereas after being given the intervention showed the same results as many as 15 respondents (50%) had a risk of moderate fall and 15 respondents (50%) had a risk of falling low. Statistical results with paired t test showed that there was an effect of elderly physical balance training with a jatih study on the elderly with P value 0,000. Nurses are expected to be able to prevent the risk of falling on the elderly by providing knowledge to nursing staff / cadres about the study of elderly people who are at risk of falling who then to prevent the elderly by being given physical balance training. Keywords: POMA Tinetti, physical balance training

Over the engineering history, environmental and social needs inspire the development and innovation of many wonderful applications. For example, when the industrial robots entered our industrial life, great advances especially in automotive industry where the industrial robots cover about 90 % of the car industry activities started to change our own life. As the number of elderly people is increasing rapidly all over the world, this requires us to focus on their needs as their children left them alone in our busy daily life. Mechatronics and robotics can offer many possibilities to help elderly people by providing smart solutions for their daily needs as well as entertaining them during their lonely long stay at their homes. Many companies are providing smart mobile robots in different platforms (wheeled or walking) to help the elderly people depend on themselves in receiving their food and medicine at prescheduled times. Other companies are interested in providing smart wheel chairs to help the elderly people navigate indoor and outdoor freely and conveniently without any external help. Meanwhile, some companies are providing entertainment robots in different shapes to talk, play and communicate with elderly people in a nice way. The objective of this paper is to explore the mechatronics and robotics capabilities to assist elderly people and to make their life easier, comfortable and self-governing without any external help. This paper will highlight also the effect of the environment and the social needs in inspiring new innovations. As an example, the innovations by Badi Az-Zaman Ismail Al-Jazari, a Muslim scientist, will be investigated. This paper is going to discuss also the idea and the motivation behind two of Al-Jazari’s robotic applications (Although the term robot was not coined at that time). These two devices are the washing hands and the peacock fountain. Although he used to apply mechanical structure and fluid for controlling the motion of the two devices, they were very beautiful and resemble some of the robotic applications nowadays.

Through virtual interaction and multivariate communication, the social interaction and life satisfaction of elderly people can be improved. This study integrated virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to construct a visualized reminiscence therapy system, which provides not only reminiscence entertainment but may also aid in dementia prevention for healthy and sub-healthy (a therapeutic working concept which defines an intermediate stage between health and disease) elderly people. Images taken by an LG 360 CAM are primarily introduced into Power Director 360 as the guide interface. The special effects are joined using After Effects. With the model constructed under 3ds Max, the reminiscence therapy system integrated by virtual reality and augmented reality is then established by the Unity engine. It is shown that the developed 3D ancient building model can be used by Samsung Note 5 smartphones as well as VR CASE glasses to increase the immersive experience for the elderly. Through nostalgic elements triggered by the AR/VR three-dimensional model and video/audio interaction, the feasibility of our integrated system for reminiscence therapy is thus verified. Through reminiscence therapy, memories and thoughts can fully be activated as a therapy for elderly people. The visualized reality system developed in this study can further promote the social interactional satisfaction of elderly people.

In the stage of aging society and population aging, the social needs of the elderly are widely discussed by researchers. Especially driven by the demand of tele-medical treatment and tele-rehabilitation therapy, it is vital for the elderly to integrate into virtual communities by combining social virtual reality (VR) with different medical services and entertainment needs. In addition, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, it is more difficult for people to have face-to-face contacts. With more remote consultation, entertainment and virtual social connectivity, the application of social VR is more urgent and valuable. However, there is little discussion on the acceptability and influencing factors of social VR among the elderly at present. Therefore, in order to get further data, we used (1) early stage semi-structured interviews and then (2) Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) questionnaires for investigation. One hundred fourteen elderly people aged 60–89 living in the metropolitan area of Taipei were taken as the subjects. To help them understand the situation and state of using social VR, these elderly people were asked to use a head-mounted display (HMD) to experience social VR games. The preliminary results showed that the elderly had obvious preference for entertainment (32.4%) and medical treatment (31.3%). The interview showed that this was related to the physiological condition or medical needs of the age range. In order to further understand how social VR would affect the social life of the elderly, we proposed the further demand structure of UTAUT Model based on the interview of both experts and the elderly. The model structures include (1) Performance Expectancy, (2) Perceived Enjoyment, (3) Social Influence, (4) User Attitude, (5) Behavioral Intention, and so on. These structures were applied to conduct interviews and questionnaires to find out the influence extent and relevance of the elderly on different structural needs, and suggestions were given accordingly. The results of the above interviews showed that (1) the elderly thought that the functions of entertaining and interacting of social VR could increase their social opportunities, and also meet medical needs (teleconference, cognitive decline, etc.), (2) the closeness of social relations (between family members, friends, doctors, and places), and also affect the relevance of Perceived Enjoyment (β = 0.77, p = 0.000 < 0.05). The results of these phenomena and interviews showed the interplay between the demand structures and their special relevance. They also indicated that as to social VR technologies, various demands and functional issues of the elderly need to be considered, and these demands would appear in the subtle usage, and different social VR interfaces and functions would emerge based on their special living ways and physical and psychological demands.

Falling is a major problem for the elderly population and much research has been done to investigate the risk factors for and means of preventing falls. However, very little research has been carried out looking at if and how therapists teach elderly people how to rise after a fall. This postal survey was undertaken to investigate whether therapists do anything to try to prevent falls, assess elderly people for suitability and teach them how to rise after a fall. The results showed that almost all the respondents (127 of 137) identified falling as a problem that they had to deal with in their patients over 65 years. The main focus of occupational therapists was to prevent falls by making environmental changes (for example, removing hazards) whereas physiotherapists were involved in physical changes (for example, balance training). Over half the respondents had considered teaching people how to rise after a fall. A range of different methods was used, which broadly fell into physical and verbal instructions or referral to other health care professionals. The sources of knowledge for teaching how to rise after a fall came mainly from previous clinical experience. Falls are an acknowledged problem in the elderly population and among these hospital and community based therapists about half had considered teaching or had taught elderly people how to rise after a fall.

Abstract : Cataract is a conditin of the occurance of cloudiness in the lens of the eye. The incidence of cataracts are often found in the elderly people and usually occurs due to the aging process. Cataract is the highest causes of blindness in Indonesia. North sulawesi is a region with the highest incidence of cataract in Indonesia.One of the reason why the incidence of cataract is still high today, it’s because most of the patient didn’t know if they are suffering from cataract so that refuse the surgery. There are still many people who don’t know clearly about cataract. Knowledge is the important thing in the occurance of a disease. The purpose of this research is to determine the description of knowledge about cataract against the school students, especially the XII grade students of SMA Negeri 7 Manado. This research uses a descriptive research design, with amount sample 78 respondent and the data was taken by answering the questionnaire. The result of these study shows that the level of knowledge from grade XII student of SMA Negeri 7 Manado about cataract is classified in good category with percentage 73,2%.Keywords : Knowledge, student, cataractAbstrak : Katarak merupakan kondisi terjadinya kekeruhan pada lensa mata. Kejadian katarak sering ditemukan pada orang lanjut usia dan biasanya terjadi karena proses penuaan. Katarak merupakan penyebab kebutaan tertinggi di Indonesia. Provinsi Sulawesi Utara merupakan daerah dengan angka kejadian katarak tertinggi di Indonesia. Salah satu alasan mengapa tingginya kejadian katarak sampai saat ini, yaitu karena sebagian besar pasien banyak yang tidak tahu apabila mereka menderita katarak sehingga menolak melakukan operasi. Masih banyak orang yang belum mengetahui secara jelas tentang katarak. Pengetahuan memiliki peran yang penting dalam terjadinya suatu penyakit. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran pengetahuan tentang katarak pada siswa sekolah khususnya siswa kelas XII SMA Negeri 7 Manado.
