Official title: A Multimodal Exercise Program in Musculoskeletal System of the Community Elderly
Study type: INTERVENTIONAL
Overall status: COMPLETED
Phase: NA
Conditions: Elderly Exercise
Lead sponsor: Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
Sponsor class: OTHER
First posted: 2018-09-13
Enrollment: 46
Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 65
Maximum age (years): 85
Standard ages: OLDER_ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: intervention group: receive multimodal exercise program for half year control group: participate community activity
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The number of elderly has been increasing in recent decades. Current studies focused on the risk factors of poor physical performance, poor daily activity performance, and even disability in the elderly. We planned to evaluate the physical performance of elderly dwelling in the community and designed a multimodal exercise program which can improve physical performance, prevent disability and promote quality of life.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* \>= 65 year old

Exclusion Criteria:

* cognitive impairment and poor understanding for orders
* the elderly has medical problems that the elderly can't perform exercise
