Abstract

At the time of continued mass, there will be a decrease in physiological functions or systems that will cause interference to appear. Increasing the age of life expectancy will also increase the risk of falling. This study aims to know the effect of optimizing Feldenkrais exercises as prevention of falling risk in the elderly. The method in this study uses pre-experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design approach. The Berg Balance Scale measures the fall risk. The data analysis test in this study used the Wilcoxon test using the SPSS application program. The results of the data analysis showed P = 0,000 <α = 0.05, indicating that H1 was received from this study and H0 was rejected. In conclusion, the optimization of Feldenkrais exercises affects the risk of falls in the elderly.
