| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When providing nursing care for elderly people, it is particularly important to adopt dysbasia- and fall-related approaches. The present study was aimed to enhance the method of adopting fall-prevention measures depending on conventional high-risk or population approaches with the addition of a new fall-prevention system referred to as a “walking safely monitoring system”, which adopts these two approaches in combination. As a result, the walking safely levels as clarified by the system favorably represented elderly people’s upper/lower extremity muscle strength, standing balance, and cognitive function. Thus, the system confirmed the validity of walking safely levels recorded on walking safely monitoring cards. In addition, as a result of conducting an intervention study, subjects’ walking levels were maintained at one year, and the rate of falls decreased from 23% in the previous year to 18% this year, suggesting the benefit of the system.
