Tytuł: Effectiveness of foot and ankle exercises in older women
Abstrakt:
Introduction: In older adults there is a decline in postural control, which decreases physical fitness and increases the risk of fall. Foot and ankle exercises are rarely included in falls prevention programmes. Aim: The assessment of the author's own exercise programme on foot and ankle function and on the fall risk reduction in women aged 60+. Additional aim was to assess participants' adherence to non-supervised exercise programme. Material and methods: In the study 102 women (60-90 years old) were enrolled, from which 53 active participants were analysed. Functional tests (Timed Unipedal Stance Test, Timed Up and Go Test, Calf Raise Senior Test) and stabilometric assessment were performed before intervention and after 6 weeks of exercises. Results: A decrease in the range of sway in the medial-lateral direction and slight lengthening of stance time on right lower extremity were observed. Statistically significant increase was observed in the number of calf raises in the Calf Raise Senior Test, lengthening of stance time on left lower extremity and shortening of time in the Timed Up and Go Test in a group of women with lower initial physical fitness. Only 57% of women enrolled in the study exercised at least half of prescribed days. Conclusions: 1. Performing author's own exercise programme results in balance improvement assessed by functional tests and stabilometry. 2 ; . Effects of exercise programme are especially prominent in women with lower physical fitness assessed by functional tests. 3. Adherence to unsupervised exercise programme in older women is on a low level.
