Gerontological nursing care with the application of visual and auditory cueing exercises in elderly individuals with Parkinson's to improve physical mobility
By Leni MN, Nababan S
Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease that can cause movement disorders and decrease independence. This case report describes the application of visual and auditory cueing exercises in two patients with Parkinson's who experienced physical mobility impairments at the Elderly Social Welfare Section of Padu Wau Maumere. The exercises were administered for six consecutive days, while functional mobility was evaluated using the Timed Up and Go (TUG). During the intervention period, the TUG times of both subjects changed from more than 30 seconds at baseline observation to 20–29 seconds at the end of observation; both subjects also reported better ease of movement. The findings in these two cases indicate an improvement in mobility during the visual and auditory cueing exercise period, but are insufficient to conclude general effectiveness without studies with stronger designs and sample sizes.
