|5. |TITLE OF THE TOPIC |
| |“EFFECTIVENESS OF FLEXIBILITY EXERCISES ON BALANCE, FUNCTIONAL MOBILITY, AND DISABILITY FOR SEDENTARY COMMUNITY ELDERLY” |
| 6. | Brief resume of the intended work: |
| |Need for the study |
| |Spontaneous activity levels decline with aging in most individuals, resulting in increased sedentariness and its attendant adverse effects.1 Fried and|
| |Guralnik2 characterized physical disability as a major adverse health outcome of aging and underscored the fact that 84% of people 65 years and older |
| |are dependent on others in activities of daily living or instrumental activities of daily living in the community. |
| |Living a sedentary life into older age can lead to a loss of functional health due to deficits in strength, endurance, and flexibility that are |
| |consistently related to inactivity.1 Flexibility Flexibility or limberness refers to the range of movement in a joint or of joints, and length in |
| |muscles that cross the joints. Flexibility varies between, particularly in of differences in muscle length of multi-joint muscles. Flexibility in some|
| |joints can be increased to a certain degree by exercise, with stretching a common exercise component to maintain or improve flexibility.1-4 |
| |Deconditioning is a complex process of physiological change following a period of inactivity, bedrest or sedentary lifestyle. It results in functional|
| |losses in such areas as mental status, degree of continence and ability to accomplish activities of daily living.3 |
| |Restricted activity, defined as staying in bed for at least half a day and/or cutting down on one’s usual activities because of an illness, injury, or|
| |other problem, is common among community living older persons, regardless of risk for two days of bedrest.4 The most predictable effects of |
| |deconditioning are seen in the musculoskeletal system and include sarcopenia or diminished muscle mass, decreases of muscle strength by two to five |
| |per cent per day, muscle shortening, changes in periarticular and cartilaginous joint structure and marked loss of leg strength that seriously limit |
| |mobility. The decline in muscle mass and strength has been linked to falls, functional decline, increased frailty and immobility. Many elderly who are|
| |living independently at home are at the threshold of strength required to perform the activities of daily living essential to their independence.5 As |
| |part of the normal aging process they experience a decrease in muscle strength and a decline in activity, leading to weight gain. These changes, |
| |combined with other factors such as deteriorating vision, balance and coordination, result in greater risk for falls.6 In geriatric it has been found |
| |that decline in get up and go time, balance and functional activities due to deconditioning changes. |
| |Findings show that, among community-dwelling older people over 64 years of age, 28-35% fall each year. Of those who are 70 years and older, |
| |approximately 32%-42% fall each year. The frequency of falls increases with age and frailty level.7 |
| |Various health problems in the elderly are not necessarily a consequence of ageing. Poor health and early mortality can be attributed to physical |
| |inactivity and lack of sufficient and appropriate physical activity or exercise interventions.8 |
| |Functional dependence in geriatric institutions raises important issues related to decline in overall health related quality of life (HRQoL) and |
| |professional caregivers’ distress. Physical inactivity and disability in elderly patients may negatively affect their ability to perform activities of|
| |daily living (ADL) and worsen their HRQoL status.9-12 |
| |Many studies show that impaired balance and decreased lower extremity strength are important risk factors in the loss of physical functioning and |
| |occurrence of falls in older adults.13 Exercise can improve body composition, diminish falls, increase strength, reduce depression, reduce arthritis |
| |and pain, reduce risks for diabetes and coronary artery disease, and improve longevity.1 Research has consistently shown that older adults who remain |
| |or become active have a significantly decreased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality compared with their sedentary counterparts.14 Previous |
| |research has shown that exercises such as strength and flexibility training, balance training,15 tai chi,13 and combinations of these activities |
| |delivered in a class situation or individually16 have increased strength and improved balance and functional activity in addition to reducing the |
| |risk of falls. In the course of typical aging, connective tissue loses its elasticity and range of movement. |
| |There were studies has been done on effect of exercise program in elderly persons but there was no study found on effect of stretching exercises in |
| |sedentary elderly. Hence the purpose of this study is to investigate effect of flexibility exercises on balance, functional mobility and disability |
| |for sedentary community geriatrics. |
| |Research Question: |
| |Whether the flexibility exercises does have an effect on balance, functional mobility and disability for sedentary community geriatrics? |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| |Hypothesis : |
| |Null hypothesis: |
| |There will be no significant effect of flexibility exercise on balance, functional mobility and |
| |disability for sedentary community geriatrics. |
| |Alternate hypothesis: |
| |There will be significant effect of flexibility exercise on balance, functional mobility and |
| |disability for sedentary community geriatrics. |
| | |
| |Review of Literature: |
| |Bert H Jacobson et al.(2011) studied the effectiveness of independent static balance training contributing to increased stability and functional |
| |capacity in community dwelling elderly people a randomized controlled trial and concluded that Standing, static balance exercises conducted |
| |independently without safety supervision led to improvements in balance, functional ability, and leg functioning in frail elderly people.17 |
| |Arnaud Dechamps, PhD et al. (2010) conducted a study to know the effects of exercise programs to prevent decline in health-related quality of life in |
| |highly deconditioned institutionalized elderly persons a randomized controlled trial and concluded that adapted exercise programs can slow down the |
| |decline in health-related quality of life among heterogeneous, institutionalized elderly persons.18 |
| | |
| |Esma Ceceli et.al (2009) compared the balance, functional activity, and flexibility of elderly people performing flexibility exercises regularly with |
| |sedentary elderly people. They concluded that that ROM exercises, when performed regularly, have beneficial effects mainly on functional ability and |
| |flexibility and some effects on balance.19 |
| |Yung-Hui Tien, Kuei-Fu Lin (2008) studied on the relationships between physical activity and static balance in elderly people. In their study they |
| |concluded that risk factors associated with balance in elderly people, includes coordination deficit, musculoskeletal weakness, gait abnormalities, |
| |neuromuscular system impairment, and sensitivity for spatial orientation deficit. These factors could limit balance ability.20 |
| |Tatjana Bulat et al. (2007) In their study they determined the effectiveness of eight week group functional balance training classes on balance |
| |outcomes in community-dwelling elderly people at risk for falls. They found that an eight week group functional balance training class was safe and |
| |effective in improving balance outcomes in a cohort of elderly people at risk for falls.21 |
| |Catherine M Arnold and Robert A Faulkner (2007) Studied on history of falls and the association of the timed up and go test to falls and near-falls in|
| |older adults with hip osteoarthritis. In their study they concluded that a high percentage of older adults with hip ostoarthritis experience falls and|
| |near-falls which may be attributed to gait impairments related to hip osteoarthritis.22 |
| |Tomoko Yamauchi et al. (2005) Studied the efficacy of a home-based well-rounded exercise program (WREP) in older adults. . General physical |
| |characteristics, functional strength (Arm Curl [AC], Chair Stand [CS]), dynamic balance and agility (Up & Go [UG]), flexibility (Back Scratch [BS], |
| |Sit & Reach [SR]), and endurance (12-min walk [12-MW]) were measured. Following the 12-wk home-based WREP, improvements were observed in AC, CS, UG, |
| |BS, SR and 12-MW for the exercise group but not for the control group. These results suggested that the home-based WREP can improve overall fitness in|
| |older adults.23 |
| |Solange Czerniewicz and Claire M Nicholson (2004) studied on the benefits of exercise in the elderly and concluded that they have reviewed the role of|
| |the Physiotherapist, Biokineticists and exercise scientist in the health and functional enhancement of the elderly and have emphasized that well |
| |trained professionals are needed to promote the value of exercise therapy as well as encourage regular participation and sufficient doses of physical |
| |activity.24 |
| |Susan L. Whitney Gregory F. Marchettid, Annika Schadee and Diane M. Wrisleya (2004) |
| |Studied to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the timed “up & go” (TUG) and the dynamic gait index(DGI) for self-reported falls in persons |
| |with vestibular disorders and concluded that sensitivity (80%) and specificity (56%) were calculated for TUG scores of greater than 11.1 seconds. The |
| |TUG and the DGI appear to be helpful in identifying fall risk in persons with vestibular dysfunction. Slower scores on the TUG (>11.1 seconds) and |
| |lower scores on the DGI (18) correlated with reports of falls in persons with vestibular dysfunction.25 |
| | |
| |Naomi Pollak , Wendy Rheault, Judith L. Stoecker (1996) studied to evaluate treatment outcome and plan realistic rehabilitation goals for elderly |
| |patients. The reliability, validity, and appropriateness of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) were examined for a population aged 80 years and|
| |more from a multilevel, continuing care retirement community. Construct validity of the FIM was demonstrated. High test-retest reliability was |
| |demonstrated. In their study they suggest that with certain caveats, the FIM may be useful as a functional assessment instrument for persons who are |
| |80 or more years old.26 |
| |Podsiadlo D, Richardson S (1991) made a study to know the timed "Up & Go" a test of basic functional mobility for frail elderly persons and concluded|
| |that the timed "Up & Go" test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change |
| |over time. The test is quick, requires no special equipment or training, and is easily included as part of the routine medical examination.27 |
| |Objective of the study: |
| |To determine the effectiveness of flexibility exercises on balance, functional mobility and disability for sedentary community geriatrics |

| |inclusion criteria, complete explanation will be given to subjects and once the subjects agrees to participate in the study, an informed written |
| |consent (Annexure-1) will be taken from the subjects. |
| |Intervention for Control Group – Instructed to perform their regular routine exercises and activities |
| |Intervention for Sedentary Group – Flexibility exercises. |
| |Pre measures will be taken before the study for both the groups using Berg Balance scale and Timed get up and go test. |
| | |
| |Procedure of Intervention in Control Group – Instructed to perform their regular routine exercises and activities and general instruction will be |
| |given to allocate the usual care. Subjects will be reviewed once in a week. |
| | |
| |Procedure of Intervention in Sedentary Group |
| |All the subjects in this group will perform ROM exercises for increasing flexibility under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Exercises will be |
| |held on a mat, with all the subjects lying in supine position, and 10 repetitions of motions for each upper- and lower-extremity joint will be |
| |performed within the range of joint movement, with stretching at the end. Stretching exercises, consisting of head rotation, shoulder rotation and |
| |stretching of the upper and lower limbs, Trunk muscles. The exercise sessions will be held in the morning. Each session lasted about 20 minutes, but |
| |the participants did not have to finish the session; they continued to the point of tiredness. The exercises will be done 3 times a week for 4 |
| |weeks.18 |
| |The patients will be instructed and encouraged to continue the same exercises at geriatric center at least three times a week for 20 min. A manual |
| |with instructions and illustrations for each exercise |
| |will be distributed. The frequency of participation in the geriatric home-based exercises will be noted during the session in a week by the |
| |physiotherapist. The exercise program will be continued for 4 weeks. |
| | |
| |Post measures after 4 weeks measurements will be taken after the study for both the groups using Berg Balance scale and Timed get up and go test, |
