Clinical Trial Summary

With improved a five-day intensive, low-resistance elastic band exercise program to evaluate its effectiveness in improving total muscle mass, upper and lower extremity muscle strength, self-perceived fear of falling, and depression among hospitalized elderly individuals. This study is a random control trial. Data collection includes elderly patient's total muscle mass, upper and lower extremity muscle strength, self-perceived fear of falling, and depression among hospitalized. The total muscle mass and upper and lower extremity muscle strength will be calculated in kilograms.


Clinical Trial Description

Investigators have designed a five-day intensive, low-resistance elastic band exercise program to evaluate its effectiveness in improving total muscle mass, upper and lower extremity muscle strength, self-perceived fear of falling, and depression among hospitalized elderly individuals. Investigators will enroll individuals aged 65 hospitalized elderly. participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. The experimental group will undergo a five-day resistance exercise program using elastic bands, with two 20-minute sessions per day (totaling 200 minutes). The program aims to improve muscle mass and strength. Non-invasive instruments will be used to measure muscle mass and strength, and participants will complete self-report questionnaires on fear of fall and geriatric depression. ;
