Brief 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.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age of 65 years or older. 2. Anticipated hospital stay exceeding 7 days. 3. Able to follow instructions. 4. Four-limb muscle strength of at least three points, and grip strength measurements with a minimum of 26 kilograms for males and 18 kilograms for females. Exclusion Criteria: 1. This includes individuals with cardiovascular diseases such as acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, poorly controlled arrhythmias, complete atrioventricular block, acute heart failure, acute myocarditis, acute pericarditis, and other cardiac conditions. 2. Poorly controlled hypertension, with systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg or greater than 200 mmHg under medication. 3. Individuals hospitalized due to acute neurological injuries or conditions, such as epilepsy, stroke, or Parkinson's disease. 4. Diagnosed with cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease. 5. Those who require long-term ventilator support and are unable to participate in the program. 6. Individuals with impaired consciousness who cannot cooperate. 7. A Glasgow Coma Scale score of less than 12, or inability to correctly answer questions about person, time, place, or follow instructions.
