One way to improve the quality of life for the elderly is to do physical exercise. Physical exercise can maintain or improve flexibility, cardiopulmonary endurance, agility, strength and balance. Several studies show that physical exercise has a consistent effect in reducing the risk of falls in healthy older adults. Kuptniratsaikul's research in 2009-2010 showed that simple balance exercises carried out by elderly people with a history of falls could reduce the incidence of falls in the elderly and significantly improve body balance. A 2017 Cuevas meta-analysis study showed that balance training programs showed the greatest effect in reducing the risk of falls in the elderly. For elderly people who are not yet able to do balance exercises independently, they need assistance from professional staff. Elderly people are an age group that is vulnerable to falls. The aim of implementing this service is to detect the risk of falls in the elderly and provide assistance with balance exercises as an effort to prevent the risk of falls in the elderly. Falls occur due to an unintentional loss of balance which results in failure of postural stability, or an unexpected and sudden change which results in the position landing on the floor . Associated risk factors include current health status (living in the community, nursing home, hospital, weak or active state), existing diseases (diabetes, hip fracture, stroke) and general changes related to aging (decreased balance, coordination, strength muscle, visual disturbances, etc.). The output targets to be achieved include publication of accredited national journals and copyright for videos of community service activities. The method used is a fall risk detection examination using the Time Up and Go Test and continued by providing balance training, so that elderly people who are at risk of falling can be identified as early as possible so that providing balance training can maintain and improve the elderly's body balance.

Menurut Shumway-Cook keseimbangan merupakan kemampuan untuk mempertahankan pusat gravitasi pada bidang tumpu terutama saat posisi tegak. Seseorang yang tidak mampu mempertahankan keseimbangan dapat disebut imbalance. Gangguan keseimbangan postural merupakan hal yang sering terjadi pada lansia. sehingga jika keseimbangan tidak dikontrol maka dapat meningkatkan resiko jatuh pada lansia (Rudi et al., 2019). Menurut Departemen RI (2012) prevalensi gangguan keseimbangan pada lansia di Indonesia yaitu 63,8 - 68,7%. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan upaya untuk meningkatkan keseimbangan pada lansia dan mengurangi resiko jatuh pada lansia yang bisa diterapkan di komunitas. Tujuan kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat terkait gangguan keseimbangan dan program latihan pada lansia. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini yaitu penyuluhan yang bersifat tatap muka menggunakan media poster dan leaflet. Evaluasi pengetahuan tentang gangguan keseimbangan dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner baik sebelum maupun sesudah proses penyampaian materi.  

Pregnancy is defined as fertilization or union of spermatozoa and ovum and followed by nidation or implantation. If calculated from the fertility phase until the birth of the baby, a normal pregnancy will take place within 40 weeks or 10 lunar months or 9 months according to the international calendar. Pregnancy lasts in three trimesters, the first trimester lasts 13 weeks, the second trimester 14 weeks (weeks 14 to 27), and the third trimester 13 weeks (weeks 28 to 40)). Pregnancy is a normal process that produces a series of physiological and psychological changes in pregnant women Lower back pain during pregnancy occurs due to changes in pregnancy hormones which increase relaxant hormones (hormones that make muscles relax and become weak), this affects the flexibility of the ligament tissue which ultimately increases joint mobility in the pelvis and will have an impact on spinal and pelvic instability and cause pain. on the back. Other predisposing factors that cause back pain are related to weight gain, changes in body posture due to uterine enlargement, previous back pain and repetitive stretching. Apart from that, back pain is also felt due to incorrect body posture when sitting, standing, lying down and even when doing household activities

Elderly can be said to be the final stage of development in the human life cycle. Meanwhile, article 1 paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4) of Law no. 13 of 1998 concerning health states that an elderly person is someone who has reached the age of more than 60 years (Maryam, 2011). A decrease in muscle function and strength will result in a decrease in the ability to maintain postural balance or body balance in the elderly. Joint pain is an inflammation of the joints which is characterized by joint swelling, redness, heat, pain and movement pain. (Santoso, 2009). The type of data used is primary data taken directly from respondents using a questionnaire. The statistical test used is the chi-square test ∝= 0.481. The results of the analysis showed that the majority of elderly people with less experience experienced joint pain (43.5%). The results of the chi-square statistical test obtained p= 0.481, which means there is a relationship between knowledge and activeness of the elderly in doing elderly exercise with the incidence of joint pain in the elderly. Seeing the results of this research, the health workers on duty should provide education about exercise for the elderly and joint pain.
