Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of occupational therapeutic intervention including functional task training on activities daily living of falls experienced elderly.
Methods : This study used a single subject experimental design with alternating treatment and reversal design. One participant who have had falls experience among the community-dwelling elderly completed. This study a total of 18 sessions were conducted. Fall Efficiency Scale(FES), Berg Balance Scale(BBS) and task modification scale were used to assess the activities of daily living during each session, and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure(COPM) and Assessment of Home-based Activities(AHA) were used to evaluate the activities of daily living at pre-and post-test.
Results : The participant showed significant improvements in the FES, BBS scores. However, the improvement was greater when progressive resistance exercise was practised along with functional task training. COPM and AHA scores improved at post-test.
Conclusions : These findings provide evidence for occupational therapeutic intervention for falls-experienced elderly.
