opinion of Joseph J. Gallo (1998) said that for physical menkaji in the elderly
should be considered such as the declining presence of hearing, vision, limited
movement, and slow response time.
In general, during these
elderly people decreased cognitive and psychomotor function. According to
Zainudin (2002) Cognitive function includes the process of learning,
understanding perception, understanding, attention and others that cause
reactions and behavior of the elderly is becoming increasingly slow.
Psychomotor functions include matters relating to the will of encouragement
such as movement, action, coordination with the result that the elderly are
less nimble.
Health Psychic
By decreasing the range of
conditions within the elderly will automatically arise setback psychic
abilities. One of the causes of declining mental health is declining hearing.
With decreasing functions and capabilities for the elderly hearing so many of those
who failed in capturing the contents of the conversation of others so easily
lead to feelings of hurt, unappreciated and lacking in confidence.
