Abstract

Falls is the main cause of injuries in elderly. Studies on the long-term effects of balance training are still limited. This study aimed to assess the long-term impact of a physical exercise on the balance and fear of falling in community dwelling elderly. This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-post design. The participants were older people ≥60 years with balance problems. They received a one-month physical exercise. The instruments included Functional Reach Test (FRT) to assess balance and Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) to assess fear for falling. Assessment was conducted at pre- and post-intervention and two years later. Data were analysed using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and linear mixed model regression. Data of 23 participants were analysed. There were significant differences inn FRT and FES-I between pre-and post-intervention, pre-intervention and two years later. There was no significant difference in FRT and FES-I between post-intervention and two years after. There was significant improvement in the balance and fear of falling one month and two years after the program. The balance program had long-term effect that lasted at least for two years. Inclusion of the balance program in community-based health program for elderly can improve balance and prevent falls.

Abstract

The direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a very sophisticated and complicated surgery typically performed using a specialized operating room table and instruments. In our clinic, this procedure was performed with a modified incision to avoid dependence on a special operating room table and we could use ordinary THA instruments. There is an obvious absence of literature regarding this subject. The method in this study a total of 31 patients (31 hips) were recruited for primary THAs from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 who underwent THAs using the DAA in the supine position with modified incision. The technical feasibility and early results were evaluated. The results is orientation of the acetabular component average cup inclination was 41.57o ±6.7o, (23o-57o) and the mean cup anteversion was 17.36o ± 5o, (11o-38o). The incidence of neutral coronal femoral stem alignment were 30 hips (97%), varus was 1 (3%), neutral sagittal alignment were 30 hips (97%), and flexion was 1 (3%). The preoperative Harris Hip Score (HHS) was 57.89 points (range: 17-68 points), whereas the postoperative HHS was 89.97 points (range: 82-100 points). There were no postoperative problems such as proximal femur fracture, hematoma, superficial wound complications, deep vein thrombosis, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve damage, heterotopic ossification, loosening of the acetabular component, loosening of the stem, dislocation, infection, or postoperative periprosthetic fracture. Conclusion DAA supine for THA with modified incision may be a valuable alternative in the absence of a special operating room table or special instruments for DAA. This technique also seems to provide satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes with acceptable complications in our early follow-up.
