Fall risk screening for the elderly in RW 07 Notoprajan Village, Yogyakarta City
Keywords:
elderly, fall risk, TUGTAbstract
Falls in the elderly can cause serious injury and disability. Early detection through screening is needed, but in RW 07 Notoprajan Village Yogyakarta, there has never been a fall risk assessment. The purpose of this service is to find out the risk of falling in the elderly through the screening method. The method of this service is Community Participatory Screening of Fall Risk in the Elderly. The instrument used is the Time Up and Go Test (TUGT). Of the 38 respondents, the majority were pre-elderly (73.7%) and female (68.4%). The TUGT results showed that most of the elderly were in the low fall risk category (92.1%) with an average time of 12.37 seconds, while 5.3% included moderate risk, and 2.6% high risk. The conclusion in this research is that the majority of elderly in RW 07 Notoprajan have good mobility with a low risk of falling, but groups with moderate and high risk still need special attention. Prevention efforts through education, physical activity, and environmental improvements are important to minimize the risk of falls.
