Abstract
The elderly in low-cost nursing homes who did not participate in activities other than FIM correction independence, rehabilitation, and meals were enrolled in a study and divided into 2 groups (fall and non-fall groups), and the details of falls and fall factors were investigated. In addition, considering the roles of OTs from the results, we evaluated the relationship between seven items, including physical function, the amount of assistance for daily living (FIM), and the fall risk index (FRI-5). As a result, significant differences were found between sleep duration and FIM between the two groups, and FRI-5 was negatively correlated with sleep duration and FIM. Therefore, we concluded that shorter sleep duration and having a large amount of assistance for ADL were patterns that were easy to turnover. In addition to environmental adjustments, the design of occupational therapy programs that improves spontaneity and activity levels to meet individual needs is warranted.
