Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of ROMBERG EXERCISE on BALANCE improvement in ELDERLY persons, 70 ELDERLY persons with the history of two or more FALLING during recent 3 months were selected from Kahrizak nursing home in Tehran (38 as cases and 32 as controls).Materials & Methods: ROMBERG EXERCISE was done in case group every day (45 minute per day and one time each day) for 3 months. Among all persons, 28 persons in case group and 21 persons in control group were followed for 6 months and incidence and frequency of FALLING were assessed during this time.Results: The Incidence of one or more FALLING in case and control groups was 31.3% and 47.6% in men and 57.9% and 27.3% in women, respectively. We found no significant relation between gender and the incidence of FALLING (P=0.460). Also, no significant relation was found between age and incidence (P=0.554) and frequency of FALLING (P=0.144) in ELDERLY persons.Conclusion: Although the effect of ROMBERG EXERCISE on improvement of BALANCE disturbance and FALLING was not demonstrated, it needs additional studies with larger sample size and longer follow-up.
