A Long-Running Social Initiative for Elderly Mobility and Safety
The สูงวัยไม่ล้ม program, a cornerstone social activity of the Samrong Ruamjai Foundation (มูลนิธิสำโรงรวมใจ), promotes effective balance and gait rehabilitation to prevent falls among Thailand’s elderly. Using locomotor therapy principles, this program enhances mobility and independence, reducing fall risks for community-dwelling seniors.
Program History and Results
The สูงวัยไม่ล้ม program has evolved through several successful phases, consistently delivering impactful results and expanding its reach across Thailand. This journey highlights significant improvements in fall prevention and enhanced quality of life for seniors.
Phase 1 (2015) :
Hospital-Based,
40 Cases
Initiated at Samrong General Hospital, this phase tested locomotor therapy with 40 elderly participants. Results showed a 90% reduction in fall rates and significant improvements in balance scores (e.g., Timed Up and Go test improvements of 20–30%). [i,i]
Phase 2 (2017) :
Community Expansion,
300+ Cases
Expanded to community settings, reaching over 300 elderly individuals. The program maintained a 90% fall rate reduction and further improved balance scores, with participants showing enhanced walking speed and stability. [i]
Phase 3 (2019) :
Large-Scale Community,
1000+ Cases
Scaled to over 1000 participants across Thailand, reinforcing the program’s success with consistent 90% fall reduction and sustained balance improvements, reducing dependency and boosting quality of life. [i,i]
