Brief Summary

The subject of this research is to investigate the effect of high amplitude calisthenic group exercises with music on balance and dual task performance in elderly individuals. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of music during high amplitude calisthenic group exercises on dual task performance and balance in elderly residents living under the administration of Kagıthane Municipality in Istanbul.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Mini-Best Test

  The main focus of the Mini-BEST TEST is to emphasize dynamic balance. The scale is used to assess balance and the risk of falling. It allows for the dynamic assessment of balance. It consists of 14 task items representing four balance control systems: prospective posture adjustments, compensatory postural adjustments, sensory orientation, and walking stability. Some tasks involve sitting; these are standing, standing on tiptoe, single-leg standing, compensatory reactions forward, backward, and sideways, tasks to be performed with eyes closed on a sloping surface with foam surface and walking. Speed changes, dizziness, walking over obstacles, and timing are included. Each item is scored on a three-point scale (0-2), with a total maximum score of 28 points. Better balance performance is indicated by higher scores. 2 points indicate the highest functional level, while 0 indicates the lowest functional level. If a person needs physical assistance to perform, one function gets 0 points.

• Dual Task Questionnaire

  Dual task (DT) is a simultaneous neurophysiological experimental procedure that requires an individual to perform two tasks. DT is also mutual communication between motor and cognitive. When two tasks are performed simultaneously, attention capacity should be used effectively, and attention should be divided according to difficulty and priority. Problems will arise when the difficulty level increases or attention capacity decreases. Evaluation of individuals' DT performance is carried out by clinical tests and laboratory measurements. During these tests, additional tasks such as motor (pressing a button, moving something...) or cognitive (counting, answering simple questions...) tasks are given to the person. Changes in strategies during DT are also examined with varying visual and sensory perception. It will be used to learn dual task performance in the study

• Timed Up and Go Test

  The Timed Up and Go Test is performed by giving verbal instructions to the patient to get up from the chair as quickly and safely as possible, walk 3 meters following the marked line on the floor, turn, walk back again, and sit down. Below 10 seconds; the patient walks independently, the risk of falling is very low. 11-19 seconds; the patient walks independently, there is a low to moderate risk of falling. 20-29 seconds; occasional assistance may be needed, there is a moderate to high risk of falling. Over 30 seconds occasionally, assistance is needed and the risk of falling is high

  5 minutes

• Geriatric Depression Scale

  The Geriatric Depression Scale consists of 30 self-reported questions that elderly individuals can easily mark with yes or no responses. Questions 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 28 contain reverse statements. In scoring the scale, 1 point is given for each response indicating depression, and 0 points for other responses, which is considered as the total depression score. The scoring of the scale is as follows: 0-10 points "no depression", 11-13 points "possible depression", 14 and above points "definite depression". The scale scores range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 30. The evaluation of the Geriatric Depression Scale is as follows: for questions 1, 2, 7, 9, 15, 19, 21, 27, 29, and 30, 1 point is given for each "no" response and 0 points for "yes" response, for questions 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 28, 1 point is given for each "yes" response and 0 points for "no" response

Big amplitude calisthenic group exercises with music

EXPERIMENTAL

The exercise program will consist of balance and mobility-oriented exercises such as reaching forward and upward while sitting on a chair, taking steps forward, backward, sideways and backward while standing, transferring weight, counting in place, sit-to-stand exercises, walking, changing directions or walking over obstacles (Appendix: Exercise Program). This exercise program will be applied to the first group with the accompaniment of classical Western music, while the other group will be applied without music. The exercise programs will be performed for both groups for 40 minutes, two days a week and for eight weeks.
