Brief Summary:
Aging is a biological process that begins with the birth of individuals and continues until death With increasing age the human body enters a process in which structural and functional changes occur and may differ between individuals This study aims to determine the effect of Baduanji by reducing or completely eliminating the risk of loss of balance and falls in elderly individuals 60 people between the ages of 65-85 will be included in the study Individuals will be randomly divided into two groups In the study the Berg Balance Scale BDS was used to assess balance and the Timed Up and Go Test TUGT test was used to assess functional levels In our study the Baduanjin exercise program will be applied 5 days a week for 8 weeks with the supervision of a physiotherapist The Baduanjin exercise program will be applied to the first group the second group will be the control group and no intervention will be made
Detailed Description:
Aging is a biological process that begins with the birth of individuals and continues until death With advancing age the human body enters a process in which structural and functional changes occur and may differ between individuals Approximately 50-75 of individuals over the age of 65 experience balance and ambulation problems Balance in living things is the ability to keep the body gravity line within stability limits and to maintain this Balance disorders can be seen as a result of pathological disorders such as neurological diseases sensory disorders or muscle weakness as well as the loss of muscle strength and sensory functions observed during the normal aging process or the decrease in the speed of sensory motor responses Although the balance system in humans is at an optimal level in early adulthood deteriorations are observed after approximately the age of 50 In recent years the importance of physical activity has begun to be emphasized more in order to remind individuals that they are a productive part of society in old age to minimize the inadequacies disabilities and discomforts that occur with aging and to enable them to continue their lives independently Physical activity is central to most programs designed to reduce the risk of falling and can work with strength balance and other physiological and psychological pathways When the literature is examined current studies have shown that older individuals have positive perspectives on traditional aerobic exercise Tai Chi has been proven to improve balance and physical function Qigong which emerged before Tai Chi is considered another traditional aerobic exercise preferred by older individuals who are intolerant of intense physical activities Baduanjin exercise Eight-Part Exercises or Eight-Part Brocades an important complementary part of Qigong consists of eight separate postures supporting the chest drawing bows to both sides lifting one hand practicing looking back waving the hand and wagging the tail touching the feet with both hands climbing with both hands and relaxing your back Baduanjin is a series of exercises that are a qigong chi kung practice of Chinese origin The term Ba Duan Jin means eight pieces of brocade or eight silk ropes in Chinese This exercise series includes a series of movements that include body posture breath control and mental concentration The main purpose of Baduanjin is to increase energy chi or qi circulation provide balance in the body increase flexibility and improve overall health According to traditional Chinese medicine the free circulation of chi and its balanced distribution in the body are the keys to a healthy life This exercise series aims to create a balance in physical mental and energetic terms Each of them can have beneficial effects on different parts of the body or specific organs Similar to Tai Chi Baduanjin exercise is also considered a multi-component therapy that combines physical psychosocial cognitive and spiritual components Compared to Tai Chi Baduanjin exercise has fewer physical and cognitive requirements making it very suitable for short-term application in elderly individuals In this context the study aims to determine the effect of Baduanjin by reducing or completely eliminating the risk of loss of balance and falls in elderly individuals and aims to shed light on future studies
