The increasing prevalence of neurological conditions in older adults leads to impaired balance and mobility, heightening fall risk. This systematic review explores the effectiveness of Frenkel exercises in enhancing dynamic balance and motor function, underscoring the importance of fall prevention techniques supported by evidence. This systematic review adhered to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, including studies published from 2020 to 2025. Researchers utilized various databases, including MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, APA PsycNet, Science Direct, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, to identify pertinent articles. Studies were selected based on inclusion criteria for individuals aged 65 years and above with neurological disorders. The primary outcomes assessed were dynamic balance and motor function, with secondary outcomes including fall risk. Six studies, encompassing 198 participants, were included in this review. They demonstrated significant improvements in dynamic balance and motor function following Frenkel exercise interventions. Five studies reported enhanced balance, measured by the Berg Balance Scale and timed up and go test. Frenkel exercises also contributed to a reduced fall risk and improved mobility. Consistent with other studies, our results show that Frenkel exercises effectively boost self-confidence and physical function. Frenkel exercises improve dynamic balance and motor function while lowering fall risk in elderly individuals with neurological disorders. Its simplicity and low cost make it a practical option, but more long-term studies are needed to confirm these benefits.
老年人神经系统疾病患病率的上升导致平衡和行动能力受损,增加了跌倒风险。本系统评价探讨了弗伦克尔运动在增强动态平衡和运动功能方面的有效性,强调了有证据支持的预防跌倒技术的重要性。本系统评价遵循系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)指南,纳入了2020年至2025年发表的研究。研究人员利用了各种数据库,包括MEDLINE/PubMed、科学网、美国心理学会心理学文摘数据库、科学Direct、Scopus、考克兰图书馆和谷歌学术,以识别相关文章。根据纳入标准,选取了65岁及以上患有神经系统疾病的个体的研究。评估的主要结果是动态平衡和运动功能,次要结果包括跌倒风险。本评价纳入了6项研究,共198名参与者。他们表明,在进行弗伦克尔运动干预后,动态平衡和运动功能有显著改善。5项研究报告称,通过伯格平衡量表和计时起立行走测试测量,平衡能力得到了提高。弗伦克尔运动也有助于降低跌倒风险并改善行动能力。与其他研究一致,我们的结果表明,弗伦克尔运动有效地增强了自信心和身体功能。弗伦克尔运动可改善患有神经系统疾病的老年人的动态平衡和运动功能,同时降低跌倒风险。其简单性和低成本使其成为一种实用的选择,但需要更多的长期研究来证实这些益处。
