Elderly is an age group that has a high risk of experiencing health problems.\nOne risk that can be experienced by the elderly is the risk of falling. One of\nthe risk factors for falling in the elderly is decreasing in postural balance of\nthe elderly. One of the non-pharmacological therapies developed to reduce\nthe risk of falling in the elderly is to improve the ability of the elderly, especially\nin controlling postural balance. The purpose of this study was to determine\nthe effectiveness of 12 balance exercises to improve postural balance in\nthe elderly. This type of research is quasi experiments with static group comparison.\nThe research data are obtained by researchers using observation\nsheet, then the data are tabulated. This study involved two research groups\nnamely the control group (the group not given the intervention) and the\ntreatment group (the group that was given the 12 balance exercise intervention).\nFrom the results of Paired samples, t-test with significance level a=\n0.05 is obtained by the significance value (p) of 0.025. This study shows that\nthe provision of 12 balance therapy exercise strategy is effective to improve\npostural balance in the elderly as a preventive effort from the risk of falling.
