Populasi lansia di Indonesia cukup tinggi dan terdapatnya keluhan pada lansia yaitu meningkatnya risiko jatuh yang disebabkan karena terjadinya penurunan keseimbangan, apabila lansia mengalami jatuh akan menyebabkan cedera yang serius bahkan menyebabkan kematian. Maka dari itu, pemberian Swiss Ball Exercise dan Gaze Stability Exercise cocok digunakan untuk meningkatkan keseimbangan statis maupun dinamis pada lansia, dan diperkuat beberapa artikel penelitian mengenai pengaruh Swiss Ball Exercise dan Gaze Stability Exercise terhadap keseimbangan dinamis pada lansia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas pemberian Swiss Ball Exercise dan Gaze Stability Exercise untuk meningkatkan keseimbangan dinamis pada lansia. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen semu (quasi eksperimen). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Purposive Sampling dengan pretest-posttest control group desain. Penelitian ini dilakukan 3 kali dalam seminggu selama 3 minggu di Puskesmas Mandiangin Koto Selayan. Dengan jumlah sample sebanyak 14 orang. Alat ukur yang digunakan yaitu Times Up to Go Test (TUGT). Hasil penelitian pemberian Swiss Ball Exercise menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata keseimbangan dinamis sebelum pemberian 9,1271 dan sesudah pemberian 8,650. Nilai p=0,000 artinya terdapat peningkatan keseimbangan dinamis. Hasil penelitian pemberian Gaze Stability Exercise menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata sebelum pemberian 7,7286 dan sesudah pemberian menjadi 7,2071. Nilai p=0,000 artinya terdapat peningkatan keseimbangan dinamis. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa Gaze Stability Exercise lebih efektif daripada Swiss Ball Exercise terhadap peningkatan keseimbangan dinamis lansia tahun 2023 Puskesmas Mandiangin Koto Selayan Kota Bukittinggi.

The elderly population in Indonesia is significant, and one common complaint among the elderly is the increased risk of falling due to decreased balance. Falls in the elderly can result in serious injuries or even death. To address this issue, Swiss Ball Exercise and Gaze Stability Exercise are suitable interventions to improve both static and dynamic balance in the elderly. Several research articles have also highlighted the positive effects of these exercises on dynamic balance in older adults. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Swiss Ball Exercise and Gaze Stability Exercise in improving dynamic balance in the elderly. It adopts a quasi-experimental research design, using a purposive sampling approach with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research was conducted three times a week for three weeks at the Mandiangin Koto Selayan Health Center, with a total sample size of 14 individuals. The Times Up to Go Test (TUGT) was utilized as the measuring tool. The results of the Swiss Ball Exercise research showed that the average dynamic balance before administration was 9.1271 and improved to 8.650 after administration. The p-value of 0.000 indicates a significant increase in dynamic balance. Similarly, the results of the Gaze Stability Exercise research showed that the average dynamic balance before the exercise was 7.7286 and increased to 7.2071 after the exercise. The p-value of 0.000 also indicates a significant increase in dynamic balance. Based on the study's findings, it can be concluded that Gaze Stability Exercise is more effective than Swiss Ball Exercise in enhancing the dynamic balance of the elderly at the Mandiangin Koto Selayan Community Health Center in Bukittinggi City in 2023.
