Brief Summary

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a technology-assisted physical activity program on improving muscle strength, joint mobility, standing time, self-efficacy, and life satisfaction among residents in institutions. With the rapid growth of the aging population in Taiwan and the associated decline in physical function, innovative interventions are urgently needed. The program integrates interactive digital displays to provide safe, guided exercise routines tailored to residents in institutions, with the goal of enhancing both physical and psychological well-being, thereby improving overall quality of life.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Joint Mobility

  Range of motion of upper and lower limb joints measured with goniometer (degrees).

  Baseline and post-intervention (8 weeks).

• Muscle Strength

  Description: Grip strength measured by dynamometer (kg).

  Baseline and post-intervention (8 weeks).

• Standing Time

  Description: Maximum duration of standing measured in seconds to assess balance and lower-limb strength.

  Baseline and post-intervention (8 weeks).

• Self-Efficacy

  Self-efficacy for daily activities assessed using validated self-efficacy scale. Higher scores indicate stronger confidence. scale scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree). Higher scores indicate stronger self-efficacy.

  Baseline and post-intervention (8 weeks).

• Life Satisfaction

  Global life satisfaction assessed with the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction. Global life satisfaction assessed with the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), a 5-item scale scored on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 7 = strongly agree). Higher scores indicate greater life satisfaction.

  Baseline and post-intervention (8 weeks).

Study Arms (2)

Using a technology-assisted physical activity program

EXPERIMENTAL

Residents are guided through 26 seated exercises using a digital display and receive real-time feedback. Each set of exercises lasts 30 minutes and is repeated eight times, aiming to improve muscle strength, flexibility, balance, self-efficacy, and life satisfaction.

Behavioral: physical activity program

Not receiving a technology-assisted physical activity program

NO INTERVENTION

Institutional residents can continue their daily physical activities within the facility without digital assistance.

Interventions

physical activity program BEHAVIORAL

Received eight sessions of technology-assisted exercise courses, covering 26 movements in the shoulders, neck, chest, upper limbs and lower limbs, with demonstrations and real-time feedback on movement performance through high-end monitors
