Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this randomized control trial study was to evaluate whether the locomotion training would be effective in improving physical function in older adults. 340 participants were randomly assigned to a locomotion training group (n=200) and a control group (n=140). The locomotion training group asked to exercise at home for 6 months. The control group continued with their usual activities. The physical function (muscle power, balance, mobility) of the participants was examined at baseline, after three month and at the end of the six months study. At 6 months, muscle power, balance and mobility had improved significantly more in the locomotion training group than in the control group. A locomotion training was effective in improving physical function in older adults.
