Abstract

Falling is a major health problem and is also a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly. The more serious consequences of falling on the elderly are the increased risk of injury and fear of falling. Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale is one of the assessment instruments for fear of falling. This instrument is used to assess balance confidence in various ambulation activities. The purpose of this study was to carry out the process of adaptation of the cross cultural ABC English questionnaire to ABC Indonesian. This study was a cross sectional study with participants of five elderly members of the Posyandu Lansia who were in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The output is the correlation between the score of ABC English with ABC Indonesian and the score of ABC Indonesian with ABC English Back Translation which are tested at different times. All the question score in the ABC English questionnaire correlated with ABC Indonesian, as well as the Indonesian Language ABC correlated with ABC English back translation, have a significant correlation (r> 0.3). The conclusion of this study is that the ABC English has a close meaning with the ABC Indonesian and the ABC Indonesian has a close meaning with the ABC English back translation. The validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of ABC questionnaire is needed to obtain a valid and reliable questionnaire.

Abstract

Background: Postmenopausal period is usually marked by dominancy of osteoclast activity, which leads to a decrease in bone mass. Speed Play Walking Exercise (SPWE) could be an important mechanical strategy for maintaining bone cell activity in postmenopausal women. Aim(s): This study evaluated the rate of increased cadence in SPWE, which can reduce bone resorption and increase bone formation activities, associated with body mass index. Material and methods: This was four group pre-post intervention design randomized clinical trial, included 32 postmenopausal women in normal-weight (NW) vs. overweight (OW) groups, divided into 2 groups of different walking speeds. The intervention is SPWE method with increased 15-35% or 50-80% from initial cadence as intervention target cadence, alternated with usual cadence, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks duration. Variables are baseline CTx and NMid osteocalcin serum taken on pre and post 4 weeks exercise. Result: sNMid osteocalcin was increased in groups walked with 15-35% increased cadence compared to group walked with 50-80% increased cadence (p=0.002 for NW group and p=0.042 for OW group, respectively). NW group walked with 50-80% increased cadence showed the most decreased bone formation marker (p=0.019). CTx/NMid ratio is reduced in NW group walked with 15-35% increased cadence, on the other hand, OW group walked with 50-80% increased cadence showed the most increased trend of CTx/NMid ratio. Conclusions: To maintain bone formation activity, SPWE with a rate of 15-35% increased from initial cadence is suggested for postmenopausal women, however the benefit is more visible in women with normal-weight.
