| Research Abstract |
108 subjects (mean 70.9 years, SD 6.6 years) were allocated to the robot group (42 people) and control group (66 people) at random. Through the intervention period of 15 months, the robot group performed the gymnastic with the robot that can imitate movement of the gymnastic, while the control group executed the gymnastic while seeing only the gymnastic poster. As a result, the gymnastic interruption rate for intervention period in the robot group was significantly decreased compared with the control group.
