Clinical Trial Summary

Most previous clinical trials that addressed the rehabilitation training system for sarcopenic elderly subjects focused on community-dwelling older adults who were relatively healthy. There is a notable paucity of high-quality research investigating the effects and feasibility of the device for hospitalized or institutionalized older people, who are generally frailer and more severe in functional impairment than those living in the community. Moreover, most reported the system were of long-term duration, which typically lasted 3 to 6 months with two sessions per week. It remains unclear whether short-term the device training would be effective for treating sarcopenia. Therefore, the investigators aimed to assess the effectiveness of Motor-Assisted and Active Resistive Upper/Lower Extremities Rehabilitation Training System for treating sarcopenia in hospitalized older patients aged 80 years and over.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Motor-Assisted and Active Resistive Upper/Lower Extremities Rehabilitation Training System
The Passive, Motor-Assisted and Active Resistive Upper/Lower Extremities Rehabilitation Training System is designed for patients con?ned to bed at the long-term care facilities hospitals, in early rehabilitation. This system can induce a natural movements of the upper/lower limb with safe motorized passive movement, as well as motor-assisted and active resistive muscle training to stimulate nerves, increase blood circulation of a?ected tissue, cell metabolism and improve joint mobility, in promoting upper/lower extremities motor recovery.
