Objective: We decided to find a factor to prevent falls by examining differences in the feeling of falling fear of middle-aged, young-old elderly, and old-old elderly suffering from exerciser disease. Methods: Thirty-three subjects were middle-aged, young-old elderly, and old-old elderly affected with exerciser disease. We measured the falling fear sense by Modified Falls Efficacy Scale and analyzed the difference. Results: The score of the old-old elderly person was significantly less than the score of the middle-aged person, and the feeling of falling fear was high. Conclusion: There is a need to exercise therapy on the premise that the feeling of falling fear is high in the old-old elderly who suffer from exerciser disease.
