The ageing process in the elderly involves many changes and decreases in body function during ageing. The problem that is often experienced by the elderly is falls. This is because falls in the elderly are closely related to body balance. One of the factors that causes falls due to balance disorders is pain in the joints. Pain management and balance training are alternatives that can be done by the elderly to prevent the risk of falls. This study aimed to describe the effectiveness of giving warm compress of lemongrass ginger to the elderly as well as the effectiveness of balance exercise to the elderly with balance disorders at PSTW Jember. This research method uses a single instrumental case study with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the PQRST mnemonic to measure the pain felt by the elderly. The results showed an increase in the BBS score and a decrease in the pain scale in the elderly. Applying a warm compress of lemongrass ginger provides a hot and spicy effect from the ginger, which can cause vasodilation of blood vessels, resulting in increased blood circulation and reduced pain. Meanwhile, balance training increases lower extremity muscle strength so that elderly people can support their bodies more strongly when making movements
