About this trial
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.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age of 65 years or older.
Anticipated hospital stay exceeding 7 days.
Able to follow instructions.
Four-limb muscle strength of at least three points, and grip strength measurements with a minimum of 26 kilograms for males and 18 kilograms for females.
Disqualifiers
This includes individuals with cardiovascular diseases such as acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, poorly controlled arrhythmias, complete atrioventricular block, acute heart failure, acute myocarditis, acute pericarditis, and other cardiac conditions.

Treatments tested in this trial
Elastic Band
DeviceUsing 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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
total muscle mass and upper and lower extremity muscle strength
The changes in muscle mass and muscle strength will be measured before and after the intervention,The total muscle mass and upper and lower extremity muscle strength will be calculated in kilograms.
Time frame
