Abstract

ABSTRACT Degenerative diseases in older adults often lead to decreased balance and mobility, increasing the risk of falls. Falls are a major health concern among the elderly and may result in serious injuries and functional decline. Four Square Step Exercise (FSSE) is a balance-training intervention that stimulates vestibular function, coordination, and postural muscle activation. This study aimed to examine the effect of Four Square Step Exercise (FSSE) on balance improvement and fall risk reduction among the elderly. A quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test control group design was conducted from June 23 to July 4, 2025, in a nursing home. The sample included all elderly residents (n = 48), divided into intervention and control groups. Balance and fall risk were assessed using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT). Statistical analyses included paired t-tests, independent t-tests, Wilcoxon tests, and Mann–Whitney tests with a significance level of p 0.05. The intervention group showed a significant improvement in BBS scores after FSSE (p 0.001); however, no significant difference was found between groups (p = 0.670). TUGT results demonstrated a significant reduction in completion time in the intervention group (p 0.001), and a significant difference between the intervention and control groups (p = 0.018). Four Square Step Exercise (FSSE) effectively improves balance and reduces fall risk among the elderly. FSSE can be recommended as a simple and practical intervention for fall prevention in elderly care settings. Keywords: Berg Balance Scale, Four Square Step Exercise (FSSE), Elderly, Fall Risk, Timed Up and Go Test.  ABSTRAK Penyakit degeneratif pada lansia sering menyebabkan penurunan keseimbangan dan mobilitas sehingga meningkatkan risiko jatuh.

Abstract

School-based health promotion is a strategic approach to improving children’s health, particularly among vulnerable groups such as migrant workers’ children. This community service program aimed to improve health knowledge and clean and healthy living behaviors among children at Community Learning Centre (Sanggar Bimbingan) in Kuala Lumpur. The program was implemented through basic health screening, health education sessions, demonstrations of clean and healthy living practices, and distribution of educational media to 25 participating children. Activities were conducted directly by a team of lecturers and students. The results showed that most children experienced minor health problems such as coughs, colds, and fever, had suboptimal vegetable consumption, and faced limited access to health services. After the intervention, the children demonstrated improved understanding of clean and healthy living behaviors, proper handwashing practices, and the importance of maintaining personal health. This program supports strengthening health promotion in non-formal learning communities.
