Abstract

Vertigo merupakan gejala akibat gangguan sistem keseimbangan, dengan keluhan pusing berputar-putar bisa disertai mual, muntah, hingga resiko jatuh.Banyaknya kasus vertigo pada kalangan usia produktif bahkan usia lanjut (lansia), yang berdampak pada masalah kesehatan lansia. Gangguan keseimbangan merupakan salah satu penyebab utama jatuh pada lansia, yang berdampak pada kecacatan, menurunnya kualitas hidup, terhentinya aktivitas sehari- hari bahkan dapat menyebabkan kematian. Untuk meningkatkan kualitas kesehatan lansia, perlunya dilakukan pemeriksaan screening vertigo secara berkala dengan Test Romberg. Test Romberg merupakan metode screening sederhana dan efektif untuk menilai keseimbangan. PkM ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kasus vertigo pada lansia, dan dapat di jadikan dasar untuk melakukan tindak lanjut, memberikan intervensi seperti senam vertigo, latihan fisik brandt daroff , pelatihan deteksi dini atau bisa memberikan maafaat yang lebih luas dengan melakukan pemeriksaan atau screening massal sebagaikontribusi khususnya pada aspek preventif dan promotif. Hasil PkM screening vertigo dengan Test Romberg pada 53 lansia di Sentra Terpadu Pangudi Luhur Kota Bekasi, diperoleh hasil, terdapat 33 (62,26%) lansia mengalamivertigo, 20 (37,74%) tidak teridentifikasi vertigo, 17 (51,52%) berjenis kelamin perempuan dan 16 (48,48%) berjenis kelamin laki-laki. Kesimpulan dari PkM ini diperoleh data mayoritas lansia mengalami vertigo. Temuan ini memperkuat pentingnya deteksi dini vertigo sebagai upaya meningkatkan kualitas kesehatan lansia dan mencegah risiko cedera. Pelaksanaan screening mendorong kesadaran lansia untuk menjaga keseimbangan tubuh, serta pentingnya deteksi dini kejadian vertigo dengan pemeriksaan sederhana seperti Tes Romberg yang dapat diterapkan secara efektif di tingkat komunitas. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa tujuan pengabdian untuk mendeteksi dini vertigo dan meningkatkan kewaspadaan lansia telah tercapai

Abstract

Introduction: Recurrent vertigo in older adults is frequently associated with impaired postural control, unsteadiness, fear of falling, and reduced independence in daily activities. Brandt-Daroff exercises are a simple home-based vestibular rehabilitation approach that may support balance recovery through repeated positional stimulation and vestibular habituation. However, evidence regarding their use in community-based older adult populations in Indonesia remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Brandt-Daroff exercises in improving postural balance among older adults with recurrent vertigo. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted at the Pangudi Luhur Integrated Center, Bekasi, Indonesia. Thirty-three older adults with recurrent vertigo and impaired balance were recruited using total sampling. Postural balance was assessed before and after the intervention using the Romberg Test observation sheet. Participants were taught Brandt-Daroff exercises and performed the exercises three times daily for two consecutive weeks. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Before the intervention, all participants demonstrated impaired postural balance based on the Romberg Test. After two weeks of Brandt-Daroff exercises, 24 participants (72.7%) showed improvement, while 9 participants (27.3%) continued to experience balance impairment. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated a statistically significant improvement in postural balance after the intervention (Z = -4.889, p 0.001). Conclusion: Brandt-Daroff exercises significantly improved postural balance among older adults with recurrent vertigo. These exercises may serve as a safe, low-cost, and feasible home-based vestibular rehabilitation strategy that can be integrated into community nursing practice. Further studies with control groups, larger samples, validated vertigo-specific outcome measures, and longer follow-up periods are recommended.
