Effects of Elastic Band Resistance Exercise on Muscle Strength and Depression in Hospitalized Elderly.
Sponsor: National Taiwan University
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.

Interventions
Elastic Band
Using the newly patented product, the Muscle Exercise and Falling Prevention Elastic Strap (Patent Certificate No. M585601), the procedure involves securing the elastic strap to a high-back chair to administer elastic band intervention exercises for patients.Guided by continuous contextual action demonstration videos, participants will engage in the elastic band resistance intervention twice a day, each session lasting 20 minutes, over a span of five days. These videos are designed to provide a continuous contextual demonstration, incorporating them within the video itself.
