Abstract

Falling is one of the most common physical problems that can cause morbidity and mortality in the elderly. There are various risk factors for falling, including age. In Indonesia, a person is considered elderly if they are more than or equal to 60 years old. Falls often occur in the elderly and can have an impact that affects the quality of life of the elderly concerned, the most common complication is fracture. Fracture is defined as a condition where there is continuity in the bone. This fracture can affect the daily activities of the elderly concerned and can cause dependency. It is estimated that the number of elderly people in Indonesia will continue to increase by around 450,000 people per year. Thus, in 2025 it is estimated that the number of elderly people will reach 34.22 million. Decreased body function in the elderly will result in impaired movement and function in the elderly. Decreased muscle strength due to the aging process will affect the functional abilities of the elderly, especially the ability in terms of mobility such as decreased walking speed, decreased body balance and increased risk of falling. This underlies that when a person's functional ability decreases, it can increase the risk of falling in that person.
