AB  - Amaç: Dengenin bozulması ve düşmeler geriatrikbireyler açısından önemli mortalite ve morbitide nedenidir. Dengeningeliştirilmesi için birçok yöntemin etkinliği araştırılırken su içerisindeyapılan egzersizlerinin dengenin geliştirilmesi açısından etkili ve güvenli biralternatif oluşturabilir. Gereç veYöntemler:Huzurevinde kalan yaş ortalamaları 76.35 +4.53 15 sağlıklı gönüllü katılımcı 8hafta süresince, haftada 2 gün 45 dakikalık ai chi seansına katıldı. Dengenindeğerlendirmesi için Berg denge testi (BDT), fonksiyonel kapasitedeğerlendirmeleri için ise zamanlı kalk yürü (ZKY) testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: 8haftalık ai chi egzersiz programı sonrasında katılımcıların BDT ve ZKY testsonuçlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir gelişme görüldü (p<0.05). BDTskoru 54.6+3.45 dan 58.46+2.47 ‘ye yükselirken, ZKY test süresi 11.38+1.33’dan9.02+0.61’e indi. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçları Ai Chi egzersizlerinigeriatrik bireylerde denge ve fonksiyonel kapasiteyi arttırmada etkili biryöntem olduğunu göstermiştir.

N2  - Objective: The deterioration of the balance and falls are themajor causes of mortality and morbidity for geriatric individuals. Whileinvestigating the effectiveness of many methods for improving the balance,exercises in water can be an effective and safe alternative to the developmentof balance.Material and Methods: 15 healthyvolunteers with the mean age of 76.35 +4.53 from the nursing home wereparticipated in a 45-minute ai chi session for 8 weeks, 2 days a week. Berg'sbalance test (BBG) was used for the evaluation of balance, and the timed up andgo (TUG) test was used for functional capacity assessments.Results: After 8-week ai chi exercise program, BBT and TUGtest results showed a statistically significant improvement (p <0.05). TheBBT score increased from 54.6 + 3.45 to 58.46 + 2.47 and the TUGtest duration decreased from 11.38 + 1.33 to 9.02 + 0.61.Conclusion: The results of our study showed that Ai Chi exercisesare an effective method in increasing balance and functional capacity ingeriatric individuals.
