Filter by:The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of a resistance exercise program consisting of elastic band exercises to balance, strength and quality of life of community-dwelling elders. The hypothesis of the study is that the people training with elastic bands will show benefits on the aforementioned areas.
The objective of the present study was to verify the impact of physical exercise at a distance (EFAD) on the level of mobility and quality of sleep of hypertensive elderly women. To this end, hypertensive elderly women under drug treatment aged between 60 and 79 years old age, without orthopedic limitations and/or cardiovascular complaints were assessed using questionnaires, functional tests, sleep scale classification and use of actigraphy for 7 days. Afterwards, they were randomized into 2 groups, control and EFAD, with synchronous training online 2x/week and by recorded class 1x/week. Reassessments were made after 10 weeks.
HealthyLifetime (HL) is a person-centered program that enables older adults to maximize health and optimize functioning - the necessary requisite to successfully remaining independent in their preferred home setting as long as possible, i.e., to age in place.

Q1.• What is the effect of the BIHAAAP on physical, mental, and behavioral aspects of active aging among community-dwelling older adults in the compression to the control group who only avail health education? Q2. What is the effect of the BAAEP on the quality of life among community-dwelling older adults in Pakistan? Treatment: (1) Face-to-face: 6 days, (2) home-based 12 weeks. 1.

Comparison group: One-day orientation. After the trial, the control group availed of the booklet and video-recorded Muslim prayers-like exercises.
This study will investigate transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) as a method of enhancing cognitive and neural function. The study team will apply this low intensity, magnetically pulse technology to key brain regions in a randomized, sham-controlled trial (RCT). The study will determine the magnitude of changes in cognitive function and brain function and structure between a pre- and post-stimulation among 10 typically-aging older adults and 10 patients with mild dementia.
The goal of this clinical trial is provide a scientific evaluation on the impact of the Jockey Club Get Fitness Campaign to improve the physical capacity and health condition of the community-dwelling older adults after the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will take part in any of the four care models: - a box of exercise equipment - a box of exercise equipment with verbal briefing - a box of exercise equipment and engage in the 8-week group-based exercise training - receive the wonderful box of exercise equipment and engage in the 8-week group-based exercise training together with the 6-week behavioral modification Participants with greater physical dependency, greater chronic disease burden or lower motivation for social engagement will take part in any of the three care models: - a box of exercise equipment only - a box of exercise equipment with verbal briefing - a box of exercise equipment and engage in the 4-session home-based exercise training, together with the 6-week behavioral modification
A unicentric, blind, non-comparative clinical study to evaluate facial and body anti-aging efficacy of a supplement in female participants through clinical, subjective and instrumental evaluations.
To test the hypothesis that home-based leg heat therapy improves functional capacity, vascular function, and exercise hyperemia in older adults.
This study will be conducted to test a Socially-Assistive Robot (SAR) system for residents in an Assisted Living environment. The goal of the SAR system is to enhance social engagement and connectedness. The system engages residents via robot-facilitated activities such as trivia and reminder and is integrated with the SimpleC Wellness Platform.
Objectives: This study aims to explore the feasibility, acceptance, and efficacy of online group-based dual-task training as an intervention for improving cognitive function among community-dwelling older adults. Hypothesis to be tested: We hypothesize that after the intervention, there will be an improvement in the participants' cognitive function as compared with pre-intervention status and with the control group. Also, lower-limb muscle strength and psychosocial wellbeing will be improved after the intervention. Design and subjects: This is a randomised controlled feasibility study. The target population is community-dwelling older adults with access to an online meeting platform. About 75 participants will be recruited and randomised to the intervention and attention control groups in a ratio of 2:1. Intervention group will receive 60 minutes of online group-based dual-task training twice a week for 12 weeks led by a trained facilitator. Cognitive training components include arithmetic operation, verbal fluency, and upper limb/finger movement. Physical training components are chair-based exercises. The training components will be selected using a co-design approach. Instruments: Memory Inventory in Chinese (MIC), Digit Span Test, Victoria Stroop Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment 5-Minutes (Hong Kong Version). Main outcome measures: Subjective memory complaints as measured by MIC.
