Purpose : We are focusing on diminishing the fall probability of elderly by serving them Fall Prevention Exercise Program(FPEP) to discipline proper physical positions and lifestyles.
Method : For total three months from Jan. 2014 to April 2014, we had applied the FPEP for high-risks(n=16), low-risks(n=8), a elderly(n=24) hospitalized patients in Y Hospital.
Result : After implementing the FPEP, falls did not occur in low-risk fall patients, but in high-risks. Falls happened more in medium and high exercise performance group rather than low exercise performance group. Falls took in places at restroom, bed, and automatic door, in order.
Conclusion : It is necessary to expand the Fall Prevention Exercise Program continuously for all types of patients including both low and high-risk fall patients.
