Abstract

Aging process represent the natural process which cannot obtivated. It caused by biological factor that goes naturaly that influence the anatomical, biochemical and physiological change. The natural change in this aspect giving contribution of falling on elderly. The objective of this study was to compare falls prediction on elderly using Berg Balance Test (BBT) and Time Up and Go Test (TUGT). Design used in this study was comparative study design. The population was 28 elderly. Total sample was 20 elderly enrolled by means of purposive sampling, taken according to inclusion criteria. The independent variabels were Berg Balance Test and Time Up and Go Test The dependent variabels were falls prediction, falls, and falls influence factors. Data were colected using Berg Balance Test, Time Up and Go Test and questionnaire that modify from Minnesota Safety Council Fall Prevention Checklist. Data were then analyzed using kruskall-wallis test and mann-withney test with level of significance ≤ 0.05. The result showed that Berg Balance Test (BBT) and Time Up and Go test (TUGT) had differences falls prediction with significance level of p = 0.014. The dominan factors that caused of falls was gait. Time Up and Go Test (TUGT) has valid prediction than Berg Balance Test (BBT) it showed by difference smaller score from comparator test score. It can be concluded that TUGT more appropriate to predict the falls insident in elderly caused by dynamic postural disorder and BBT to predict the falls insident caused by static postural disorder. Further studies should be consider to used carioca activity model to falls prevent in elderly caused by dynamic postural disorder.
