Kombinasi Balance Strategy Exercise dan Active Stretching Exercise Dibandingkan dengan Pelatihan Full Walking Tandem Exercise dalam Meningkatkan Keseimbangan pada Lansia Wanita di Desa Dalung
Downloads
Seiring bertambahnya usia, lansia mengalami penurunan fungsi sistem muskuloskeletal dan neuromuskular yang mengakibatkan menurunnya kemampuan menjaga keseimbangan tubuh sehingga meningkatkan risiko jatuh. Gangguan keseimbangan pada lansia dapat menurunkan kemampuan melakukan aktivitas sehari-hari dan berdampak terhadap kualitas hidup, sehingga diperlukan program latihan yang efektif untuk meningkatkan keseimbangan melalui peningkatan fleksibilitas, kontrol postural, dan strategi keseimbangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan efektivitas kombinasi Balance Strategy Exercise (BSE) dan Active Stretching Exercise (ASE) dibandingkan dengan Full Walking Tandem Exercise (FWTE) dalam meningkatkan keseimbangan pada wanita lansia di Desa Dalung. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental dengan rancangan pre-test and post-test two group design. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 46 wanita lansia yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi, kemudian dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok kombinasi BSE dan ASE serta kelompok FWTE. Intervensi diberikan selama empat minggu sesuai program latihan yang telah ditetapkan, dan kemampuan keseimbangan diukur sebelum dan sesudah intervensi menggunakan Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua kelompok mengalami peningkatan keseimbangan setelah intervensi. Kelompok kombinasi BSE dan ASE mengalami penurunan waktu TUGT sebesar 2,01 detik (p=0,000; p<0,05), sedangkan kelompok FWTE mengalami penurunan waktu TUGT sebesar 0,27 detik (p=0,000; p<0,05). Analisis perbandingan antarkelompok menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan keseimbangan pada kelompok kombinasi BSE dan ASE lebih besar dibandingkan kelompok FWTE. Dengan demikian, kombinasi Balance Strategy Exercise dan Active Stretching Exercise lebih efektif dibandingkan Full Walking Tandem Exercise dalam meningkatkan keseimbangan pada wanita lansia di Desa Dalung.
