| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of a-year-long intervention of wheelchair dance on physical fitness in bedridden individuals with severe motor dysfunction. Six individuals and 3 individuals hospitalized in A and B ward of the community care center, respectively, underwent the intervention of wheelchair dance, 6 to 15 minutes at a time, 2 days or more a week. Oxygen pulse was measured at the baseline, 3rd month, 6th month and 12th month during the intervention. Oxygen pulse was significantly increased in 6 individuals in A ward while no significant increase was observed in 3 individuals in B ward during the intervention. Nevertheless, LF/HF as an index of heart rate variable before the dance and after the dance at the 6th month reversed the trend of that at the 3rd month in 3 individuals in B ward. From those results, we concluded that a-year-long intervention of wheelchair dance may improve physical fitness in bedridden individuals with severe motor dysfunction.
