Abstract
Introduction: The elderly were at risk of the decrease in muscle mass and strength, and they were incapable of maintaining their balance resulting in the limitation of doing activities in daily life. Based on clinical practice guidelines, the exercise was one of the effective methods to solve these problems.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of an 8-week balance training Kinect-based exercise program in the elderly with fall risk.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-four subjects who have 60-69 years with fall risk were randomly divided into Control group (n=12) and Kinect group (n=12). The Kinect group performed exercise training 1 hour/times, 3 times/week for 8 weeks. Both groups were measured outcomes before exercise, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after exercise training using body compositions (BIA analysis), clinical balance tests and muscular strength tests. Data were analyzed by using Mixed model ANOVA and Non-parametric tests. The significance was accepted at p<0.05.
Results: The Kinect group significantly improved balance ability more than the control group. It was also found that the Kinect group significantly increased the balance ability, speed of walking, and muscular strength of legs after 8 weeks exercise training.
Conclusions: The Kinect-based exercise program was effective for improving clinical balance ability, muscular strength of legs and increasing self-confidence in carrying out everyday activities with the risk of falling in the elderly after 8 weeks exercise training.
