Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we consider the effectiveness of measuring the ankle dorsiflexion angle as a method for identifying the risk of fall in residents of a nursing home. We conducted a study aimed at developing a fall prevention program for increasing the ankle dorsiflexion angle.
To screen for high risk of fall by measuring ankle dorsiflexion angle, a cut-off value of 8° was set for elderly people (n=104) admitted to the nursing home. However, it was not possible to set the cut-off value in the senior residents (103 people).
To prevent falls, we distributed commercially available slippers with an additional weight among the residents, and implemented a program whereby residents would walk in the facility for a 20-minute session, twice a week, for a period of 3 months. Although subjects who were able to continue for 3 months increased their ankle dorsiflexion angle and their Timed Up and Go test results showed improvemen.
