Summary

According to National Development Council estimation, Taiwan is about to enter a super-aged society in 2025, and health promotion for the elderly are critical issues nowadays. The age-related decline in motor function will further affect participation in activities of daily living. In addition to conventional rehabilitation training, robot-assisted training has gained acceptance in clinical rehabilitation. However, robot-assisted trainings were mostly used for motor recovery in patients with neurological disorders, and has not yet been applied to motor function training in community dwelling older adults. This study will examine the effect of passive exoskeleton-assisted gait training on motor function, daily function and self- efficacy in community dwelling older adults, so as to achieve health promotion and develop a new training approach. The purpose of this study will be to determine the comparative effects of passive exoskeleton-assisted gait training and conventional gait training on motor and daily function improvements in older adults.

Conditions

  • Multidomain Intervention

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

passive exoskeleton- assisted gait training programs

Participants will wear an exoskeleton during the training. Each 30-minute Passive exoskeleton-assisted gait training session include range of motion exercise, movement facilitation, strengthening exercise, coordination exercise, and task-oriented training for activities of daily living

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional gait training

Each 30-minute conventional gait training session include range of motion exercise, movement facilitation, strengthening exercise, coordination exercise, and task-oriented training for activities of daily living.
