Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A lack of studies has applied elastic band resistance training exercises on hospitalized elderly, so the effect of elastic band resistance training exercises on physical fitness and risk of falls was unclear. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to investigate the effectiveness of elastic band resistance training on improving physical fitness and reducing the risk of falls in hospitalized elderly with high risk of falls. This study is an experimental study. The experimental group was given 3 times a week for 2 consecutive weeks of elastic band resistance training, while the control group was given regular rehabilitation exercises. The differences in physical fitness and fall risk between the two groups were examined.

Elastic band

The experimental group received a 35-minute training course for 2 weeks, 3 times a week, each time during the hospitalization. A total of 4 assessments were performed: baseline (pre-intervention), after third-time intervention, post-intervention, and one week after the intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

elastic-band exercises

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The training content includes 5 minutes of warm-up exercise, 20 minutes of elastic-band resistance training, and 10 minutes of cool-down exercise.

Control

The control group was given routine rehabilitation exercise

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

regular rehabilitation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The training content includes 5-minute warm-up exercise, 20-minute upper and lower extremity muscle strengthening, and 10-minute cool-down exercise
