Description
The elderly are vulnerable because they have experienced various setbacks. Degenerative disorders are
physiological processes that occur in the elderly; one that often occurs is a decrease in the function of the
musculoskeletal system, such as complaints of joint pain, decreased muscle strength, and decreased balance, which
can cause the risk of falling. The management that can be done to prevent falls while minimizing side effects is
using non-pharmacological therapies, one of which is the Otago Exercise. This case study aims to explain how the
impact of Otago Exercise is to prevent the risk of falling in the elderly. The writing method used in this study is
a case study conducted on the elderly Mrs. S. The results of nursing care after carrying out the Otago Exercise
Program showed an increase in the risk of falling in the elderly from 32 to 39. This Otago Exercise has been proven
to be effective and can be done to prevent the risk of losing. The elderly can implement the Otago Exercise Program on an ongoing basis accompanied by officers at the orphanage to avoid falls and maintain a balance so that joint function and posture remain good
