| Abstract |
ABSTRACT
Background: Postural instability and impaired cognitive function are significant health problems in older people. Presently, “nine-square exercise” is popular among community-dwellers in Thailand. However, evidence in the benefits of nine-square exercise on balance and cognitive function in older persons remains unclear.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of nine-square exercise on balance and cognitive function in older women.
Methods: Participants were older women living in 2 communities of Kaengkhro District, Chaiyaphum Province. One community was randomized to an experimental group (n=17, age 63.8±1.9 years); the other was a control group (n=17, age 63.8±2.2 years). The experimental group practiced nine-square exercise for 30 minutes/day, 3 days/week for 5 weeks, while the control group attended health education classes twice. At baseline and at the end of the study, all participants were evaluated for balance and cognitive function by using the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, respectively. Pre- and post-study differences between groups were compared using independent t-test and within group using paired t-test. The statistical significant level was set at p<0.05.
Results: When compared pre- and post-study, the experimental group significantly improved balance and cognitive function (p<0.05). When compared between groups, the experimental group showed significantly less time taken to complete the TUGT than did the control group (p<0.001, mean difference -2.29 seconds, 95% CI -3.17 to -1.42 seconds). No statistically significant difference between groups was found in the cognitive function assessment (p=0.295).
Conclusion: Nine-square exercise could improve balance in community-dwelling older women. Therefore, this exercise is possibly an alternative exercise regimen for improving balance in the elderly.
