Peningkatan angka harapan hidup menyebabkan jumlah
lansia terus bertambah setiap tahunnya, termasuk di Sumatera Barat yang kini
memasuki fase ageing population. Lansia mengalami penurunan fungsi fisik dan
kognitif, seperti melemahnya otot ekstremitas bawah serta penurunan fungsi
proprioseptif dan vestibular, yang berdampak pada gangguan keseimbangan dan
risiko jatuh. Di Panti Jompo Wisma Cinta Kasih Padang, tercatat 30,88% lansia
mengalami gangguan keseimbangan. Tujuan Penelitian: Untuk mengetahui
pengaruh latihan Ergo Care Heel Exercise dan Calf Raise Exercise terhadap
keseimbangan dinamis lansia. Metode Penelitian: Metode yang digunakan
adalah kuantitatif eksperimen dengan desain one group pretest-posttest. Instrumen
pengukuran menggunakan Time Up and Go Test pada 10 responden. Hasil:
menunjukkan peningkatan keseimbangan dinamis dengan rata-rata sebelum
intervensi 22,47 dan sesudah intervensi 22,0690, serta terdapat perbedaan
signifikan dengan nilai p = 0,005 (p < 0,05). Meskipun peningkatan masih berada
dalam kategori risiko jatuh sedang, terdapat perbaikan skor rata-rata
keseimbangan. Kesimpulan: Pemberian Ergo Care Heel Exercise dan Calf Raise
Exercise berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan keseimbangan dinamis lansia di Panti
Jompo Wisma Cinta Kasih Padang tahun 2025.

The increase in life expectancy has led to a growing elderly
population each year, including in West Sumatra, which is now entering the
ageing population phase. Elderly individuals experience declines in both physical
and cognitive function, such as weakening of the lower extremity muscles and
decreased proprioceptive and vestibular function, which impact balance and
increase the risk of falling. At Wisma Cinta Kasih Nursing Home in Padang,
30.88% of the elderly were recorded as experiencing balance disorders. Objective:
To determine the effect of Ergo Care Heel Exercise and Calf Raise Exercise on
dynamic balance in the elderly. Method: This research used a quantitative
experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The Time Up and
Go Test was used to measure dynamic balance in 10 respondents. Results: There
was an improvement in dynamic balance, with the average score before
intervention being 22.47 seconds and after intervention 22.0690 seconds. A
significant difference was found with a p-value of 0.005 (p < 0.05). Although the
improvement still falls within the moderate fall risk category, there was a notable
improvement in average balance scores. Conclusion: The administration of Ergo
Care Heel Exercise and Calf Raise Exercise positively affects dynamic balance
improvement in the elderly at Wisma Cinta Kasih Nursing Home, Padang, in
2025.
