Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a smart-assisted rehabilitation system on the physical and mental health of elderly residents in long-term care facilities through exercise training.

The specific aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a 12-week exercise training program using a smart-assisted rehabilitation system on sarcopenia, joint range of motion, cognitive function, activities of daily living, functional status, quality of life, and emotional well-being among institutionalized older adults.

Participants will be divided into an experimental group and a control group for comparison to assess whether the intervention improves outcomes such as sarcopenia, joint mobility, cognitive function, daily living abilities, overall functional status, quality of life, and emotional state.

Participants in the experimental group will receive the "KNEESUP" smart medical rehabilitation system, provided by a co-investigator. A rehabilitation physician will design an individualized, progressive exercise program. The intervention is planned for 12 weeks, with a frequency of 3 days per week, 2 sessions per day, totaling 72 sessions.

  • Long Term Care

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Experimental Arm：Smart-assisted rehabilitation exercise system Control Arm：Usual care or routine physical activity

Interventions Behavioral: Smart-assisted rehabilitation exercise system ("KNEESUP") A wearable smart-assisted rehabilitation system providing personalized, progressive lower limb resistance training for elderly residents with sarcopenia in long-term care institutions. The system includes real-time monitoring, feedback, and remote adjustment by rehabilitation specialists. Unlike traditional programs, it integrates sensor technology to track knee joint angles and exercise performance, enabling precise and adaptive training. Other: Usual care / routine physical activity Participants follow standard daily activities and rehabilitation provided by the long-term care facility, without the smart-assisted rehabilitation system.
