| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was to investigate postural assessment for elderly residents sitting in long-term care facilities. We made semi-structured interviews in nurses and care-workers to clarify how posture is currently managed in elderly residents, and we also tried to elucidate and compare changes in autonomic nervous activity as a result of different wheelchair sitting postures in healthy individuals using postural measurement methods.
As a result of interviews, it found that when the participants judge their residents’ postures to be collapsed, slumped, or slanted, they revise the postures. In cases where the resident is not communicative, they read the signs of the pain and help.
In regards to autonomic nervous activity, at pelvic backward inclination angles of 0°and 5°, a decrease in RMSSD was observed. And at an angle of 25°, HF was significantly higher than that with 0°to 20°. In addition, SDNN and TP were significantly higher at an angle of 15°.
