Abstract :
Background: One of the declines experienced in the aging process is a decrease in the production of the urikinase enzyme so that the disposal of uric acid becomes obstructed which ends in an increase in uric acid levels (Gandari et al., 2019). in 2018, the highest joint disease occurred at the age of 55 years and over around 51.5%. Ergonomic exercise is one of the interventions that can be given to treat high uric acid levels. Method: using a descriptive method with a case study approach. The number of respondents was 2 with the inclusion criteria of patients with uric acid levels above normal (male > 7, female > 6), living at the Darma Bakti Werdha Nursing Home KM 7 Palembang. Results: the results of the implementation of Evidence Based Practice ergonomic exercises modified into 9 movements for 2 elderly people showed differences in the results of uric acid levels, namely elderly 1 did not experience a decrease in uric acid levels (pre intervention 7.1 mg/dL post intervention 7.1 mg/dL) whereas elderly 2 experienced a decrease in uric acid levels after being given ergonomic exercises (pre-intervention 7.5 mg/dL post-intervention 6.4 mg/dL), this was influenced by other triggering factors such as food consumed by each elderly. Conclusion: Ergonomic exercise can reduce uric acid levels and reduce joint pain in the elderly with gout arthritis Keyword : elderly; Arthritis gout; ergonomic exercise
