Exercise can help to improve health, strengthen vitality and prevent brain disease, especially for the elderly. Exercise games, or exergames, which combine both exercise and video gaming, train people in a fun and competitive manner to lead a healthy lifestyle. Exergames promote more physical effort and have the potential to contribute to physical education. This research presents a full-body virtual reality exercise game called the Chongchong Step Master, which is designed to improve gait and balance function and prevent dementia in the elderly. This system used Kinect sensors to accurately recognize the user’s body movements and the stepping board mat to recognize and guide the user’s walking motion. It aims to help the elderly exercise more easily and independently with the virtual physical trainer.

Elderly is an advanced stage of the life process decreasing the body's ability to adapt to the environment. Degenerative disease is a disease that occurs due to decreased organ function, including hypertension, rhematoid arthritis, stroke, diabetes mellitus. Various strategies are pursued to improve health status and reduce morbidity in the elderly. One of them is through physical activity that is in accordance with the physical condition of the elderly and is carried out regularly. In addition, increasing knowledge through counseling which aims to help the elderly make decisions and determine a healthy lifestyle. The purpose of this activity is to improve the quality of life of the elderly. The method used is by doing elderly exercise with pre and post blood pressure checks so that it can be seen the significance of the benefits of exercise. In addition, counseling was carried out using lecture, discussion and question and answer methods. The target audience for this community service program is the elderly (elderly) in the Poskesdes Village of Benteng who are physically categorized as doing sports / physical activity for the elderly. The results of this activity show that the effectiveness of elderly gymnastics has an effect on reducing blood pressure. And from counseling, the results of the evaluation show that the elderly understand and understand the concept of healthy elderly people related to the pandemic.

BACKGROUND: Posture control involves complex reactions of dynamic and static movements, and various sensory inputs. There is evidence that exercise using multisensory stimulation is moderately effective in improving the balance of the elderly. OBJECTIVE: The main purpose of this paper was to examine the existing literature to validate the effectiveness and applicability of multisensory stimulation training. METHODS: All relevant literature published as of June 1, 2020 in four prominent databases was searched (Embase, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of science) using the five-stage review framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley. RESULTS: Multisensory stimulation training was more effective when vestibular and somatosensory were combined with visual stimuli, and differences in effectiveness compared to the effectiveness of existing treatments were confirmed. However, most of the reviewed papers are compared to simple strength training, and studies that compare the effects of multisensory stimulation training by setting a control group are still lacking. CONCLUSION: Further research is required to further elucidate the training conditions and treatment environment for multisensory training for the elderly at risk of falls and to provide strategies to improve treatment methods. In addition, a study that can evaluate user satisfaction in a way that best shows the treatment effect using qualitative research methods will be needed.

Proses menua merupakan proses menghilangnya secara perlahan kemampuan jaringan untuk memperbaiki diri atau mengganti dan mempertahankan fungsi normalnya sehingga tidak dapat bertahan terhadap infeksi dan perbaikan kerusakan yang diderita. Masalah kesehatan yang sering terjadi pada lansia salah satunya adalah muskuloskeletal, yaitu penurunan massa dan tonus otot, serat otot berkurang ukurannya, kekuatan otot berkurang. Insiden jatuh di Indonesia tercatat dari 115 penghuni panti sebanyak 30 lansia atau sekitar 43,47%. Salah satu upaya mencegah terjadinya jatuh pada lansia yaitu dengan cara latihan keseimbangan fisik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis pengaruh latihan keseimbangan fisik dengan penilaian Tinetti POMA terhadap penurunan kejadian lansia jatuh. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan pre-eksperimental dengan metode one group pretest posttest design. Teknik sampling pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode simple random sampling dan besar sampel menggunakan Roschoe dengan jumlah sampel 30 responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Sebelum diberikan intervensi, menunjukan hasil bahwa responden lansia  yang memiliki risiko jatuh tinggi sebanyak 9 responden (30,0%), dan responden dengan risiko jatuh sedang sebanyak 21 responden (70,0%). 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

Physical activity is one of the most important element of a healthy lifestyle and determinant of the physical and mental health. According to the WHO, limited physical activity is the fourth most common premature death risk factor in the world. Regular sport and active recreation is very important for our health. Physical exercise is the most effective method used by physiotherapists to prevent and slow down the aging process of the body, and consequently, diseases of elderly (e.g. osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension and injuries). Physical activity has a positive effect on the quality of life and cognitive functions of elderly. The physiotherapeutic program should be based on functional training involving the entire human body. To plan and monitor the effectiveness of the training, different types of tests are used to assess the functional status of elderly people. These tests are based on the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment considering the state of health, physical and mental fitness as well as social and environmental determinants.

The objectives of the research are to percolate knowledge which can improve health and improve understanding of human physiology. Pervasive exclusion of children and elderly in clinical trials as is happening today is not justified. Children have different physiology and pharmacology from adults; often adverse effects are also different and specific. Diseases like neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, infantile spasms are very age specific. Elderly too, have age specific issues like dementias, malignancies, weakened systems and polypharmacy that make them a special cohort. Clinical trials in these age groups are essential so as to gather comprehensive data about a medication across all age groups. Informed consent is a challenge in both these groups. It can be remedied by obtaining consent from parents, or legally acceptable representative in case of children and care givers and/or LARs in case of the elderly. Oral assent from 7 to 11 years, and written assent from 12 to 18 years and in the elderly, along with consent from the LAR, parents, care givers as the case may be, forms the bedrock of good clinical trial ethics.
