Brief Summary

Locomotive syndrome is described as a condition in which mobility functions such as gait or Sit-to-stand are decreased due to impairment of the locomotive organs. Progression of locomotion syndrome causes limitation in carrying out activities of daily living (ADL) independently. So interventions are required to limit the progression of the syndrome and to sustain the functions of locomotive organs. This study will be a randomized controlled trial in which elastic band exercises are used to enhance the physical performance of community-dwelling elderly with locomotive syndrome and changes will be recorded using different methods and tools. Non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 24 patients will be taken in this study. Patients will be randomly allocated into two different groups through sealed envelope method. Group A will be treated with elastic band exercises and Group B will have no intervention. Short physical performance battery protocol and score sheet tool will be used as outcome measure tool. Participants of both groups will be pre-tested before the application of interventional techniques and post-tested after the application of respective interventions after 3 months. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 21.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Short Physical Performance Battery Protocol and Score Sheet

  It is a clinician-rated physical measures that evaluates physical function in older adults. This assessment consist of 3 sub-scales: standing balance, gait , rising from chair . The assessment is scored on a 0-12 scale,with higher scores indicating better function. The SPPB does not require specific training ,is free to use and requires only a stopwatch and chair .

  12 Weeks

Study Arms (2)

GROUP A (Elastic Band Exercises)

EXPERIMENTAL

Warm up: for 10 min, Exercise: Lower limb exercises using elastic band for 30 min. Cool down: Self-stretches 5 min.

Other: Elastic Band Exercises

GROUP - B (No Intervention)

NO INTERVENTION

Routine activities of daily living

Interventions

Elastic Band Exercises OTHER

Resistance exercise will be performed using theraband. The color of the band denotes the degree of elasticity and resistance level(yellow , red ,green ,blue, black or silver).Exercise load in terms of individual yielding elasticity (band color) in resistance training will set at a level that a patient perceived as somewhat hard, which is equivalent to a 13-grade rating (moderate intensity exercise) on the RPE, According to American College of Sports Medicine. For each exercise movement 3 sets of 10 repetitions of gentle concentric and eccentric contractions through the full range of motion will be slowly performed using a yellow Thera band initially. The exercise intensity will be increased when the patient is able to achieve a perceived yield strength corresponding to a 13- grade rating on the RPE scale.
