Background and Aims: Due to the population growth rate, Iran will face the problem of aging explosion in the near future. Thus maintaining functional independence and fall prevention should be considered as a main policy concerns in caring for this group. For this reason, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of training with unstable sandal on some functional indicators related to falls in healthy elderly men prone to falls during the corona epidemic.
Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design 42 elderly men were prone to fall (age: 70.69±4.11 years, height: 174.12±6.07 cm, weight: 73.29±7.58 kg, BMI: 24.2±2.42 kg/cm2) with some diagnostic performance indicators, were selected from 61 elderly people and divided into 3 groups of 14 people, one group performed home exercises with unstable sandal, the second group performed these exercises with stable sandal, and the control group was engaged in their normal life and did not participated in any exercise training intervention. The training course was performed 3 sessions per week on non-consecutive days for 4 weeks. Before and after the training session, participants were assessed with Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up & Go, Functional Reach Test, and 30 second stand chair.
Results: The results of analysis of variance with repeated measures showed a significant difference in all performance tests of both training groups compared to the control group after 4 weeks of training (P<0.001). There was a significant improvement in unstable sandal group in Berg Balance Scale and Timed Up & Go tests with a progress of 12.3% and -27.1% compared to the pre-test, and 8.5% and -21.1% compared to the stable sandal group (P<0.05). Despite the improvement in Functional Reach and 30 second stand chair tests in the unstable sandal group compared to the stable sandal group, no significant difference has be seen between them (P ≥0.05).
Conclusion: Using unstable sandal in home exercise protocol as an overload training tool for greater improvement in healthy elderly men who are prone to falls can effectively improve some static and dynamic performance indicators but it has no effect on increasing the strength of the lower limbs.
