Summary

Low intensity physical activity by half squat of the elderly people with hemiplegia significantly slow down the pulse wave velocity of the arteries of the lower limbs of the paralyzed side within 8 weeks.

Conditions

  • Hemiplegia
  • Motor Activity
  • Physical Activity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Daily low intensity physical activity by the half squat

They take a meal three times daily. They are a time to do the manual work every day. They watch the TV for two hours every day. And they do a walk of 30 minutes every day. They do a specific exercise. They were trained to conduct 40kcal period(about 20 min.) for adding to the amount of energy consumption of low-intensity physical activity at baseline.Specific exercise that was done the half squat(max knee flexion 70 degree). This squat is carried out in two seconds round trip. This squat is carried out in two seconds round trip. They grab the edge of the table. They put half the weight of the lower limbs paralyzed side. This observer once a week, to record their behavior over 24 hours. Intervention period is up to a maximum of 12 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

stretch exercise and usual activity

They take a meal three times daily.They are a time to do the manual work every day.They watch the TV for two hours every day.And they do a walk of 30 minutes every day.They do whole body stretch exercise for 20 minute in a day. An observer once a week, to record their behavior over 24 hours.Their behavior was used to calculate the amount of energy consumption.They are informed of the kcal a day from the viewer.
