Abstract

Objective: Determine the correlation between hyperkyphosis and balance of elderly who join osteoporosis gymnastic at Royal Taruma Hospital. Samples: This study consisted of 25 elderly who participated in osteoporosis gymnastic at Royal Taruma Hospital, which was selected based on purposive sampling. The samples aged ranges from 55-80 years with a gymnastic frequency >4 weeks. The sample examined the thoracic hyperkyphosis curve with flexicurve-ruler and balance with Berg Balance Scale. Method: This study was a cross-sectional with observational study and was a correlation study. Results: Average and standard deviation of the hyperkyhposis curve in elderly who participated in osteoporosis gymnastic was 50.63±5.42 while the balance was 49.96±2.55. Pearson test obtained the value of p=0.183 (p> 0.05), meaning that there is no correlation between the degree of the hyperkhyphosis curve and balance in elderly who participated in osteoporosis gymnastic at Royal Taruma Hospital. Whereas the value of r (correlation strength) = -0.276, it’s mean that there is a negative correlation between hyperkyphosis and balance of the elderly. Conclusion: There is no correlation between hyperkyphosis and balance of elderly who join osteoporosis gymnastic, however, there is a negative correlation between hyperkyphosis and balance, so the higher hyperkyphosis curve, the lower balance of elderly.
