Abstract

Falls among the elderly represent a significant global public health challenge, directly impacting functional independence and quality of life. This literature review aims to synthesize various fall prevention intervention strategies based on seven recent international studies (2021–2025). The methodology employed is a narrative literature review of articles addressing physical exercise, self-efficacy, risk screening, and religious activities. The review findings indicate that combined interventions—incorporating structured physical exercises (such as the 9-step core exercise), enhancing self-efficacy through the Otago Exercise Program (OEP), implementing risk screening based on the STEADI protocol, and engaging in routine physical-religious activities (such as Salah)—are significantly effective in reducing fall risks. In conclusion, successful fall prevention requires a holistic approach that integrates physical, psychological, and environmental modification aspects.

Abstract

Background: The musculoskeletal system plays a crucial role in movement and balance, which are coordinated with the nervous system. Therefore, muscle strength has both physiological and clinical implications. Furthermore, the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, undergoes developmental stages with age. Consequently, significant differences in the musculoskeletal system between children and adults are evident. This affects differences in muscle strength measurements, particularly those related to the tools used, which, in turn, influence anthropometric measurements. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design involving 70 child respondents aged 6–12 years to evaluate the extent to which the developed tool produces consistent measurements of left and right hands through bilateral correlation, using a simple hand muscle strength measurement tool that can be effectively used in the pediatric population. Evaluation measurement uses the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Result: The reliability test using the ICC with a two-way mixed model and absolute agreement type showed that measurements at the 7 cm position demonstrated good reliability, with a single-measure ICC of 0.774 and an average-measure ICC of 0.872.2. The measurements at the 8 cm position demonstrated higher reliability, with a single-measure ICC of 0.870 (95% CI: 0.797–0.918), which is considered good, and an average-measure ICC of 0.931 (95% CI: 0.887–0.957), which is considered very good. Furthermore, the Cronbach's Alpha value for the 8 cm measurement (0.933) was also higher than for the 7 cm measurement (0.879). Conclusion: This research concludes that measuring hand muscle strength at the 8 cm position demonstrates greater consistency and reliability than at the 7 cm position, and is therefore recommended for use as a measurement method in research and clinical practice.
