Institutionalized older adults have increased gait and balance impairment compared with community-dwelling older adults. The use of the treadmill for the rehabilitation process has been studied in different groups, but not in the institutionalized elderly.
The objective of this study was to assess the effects of a treadmill walking workout program on the postural balance of institutionalized older adults.
Postural balance was assessed by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), gait speed, and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) on 37 institutionalized older adults (23 in the intervention group and 14 in the control group). Training consisted of a 20-minute treadmill walking workout carried out twice a week for 10 weeks. Measurements were obtained before and after 10 weeks and with 1 month of follow-up for the intervention group. For the control group, the data were obtained before and after the training period.
Significant improvement occurred in all motor function parameters (BBS: < 0.01; gait speed: < 0.01; gait speed: < 0.01; gait speed: < 0.01; gait speed.
The present results permit us to conclude that a treadmill walking program had positive effects on the postural balance of institutionalized older adults.
与社区居住的老年人相比，机构养老的老年人步态和平衡障碍有所增加。在不同群体中对跑步机在康复过程中的应用进行了研究，但未涉及机构养老的老年人。
本研究的目的是评估跑步机步行锻炼计划对机构养老老年人姿势平衡的影响。
采用伯格平衡量表（BBS）、简短体能状况量表（SPPB）、步速和定时起立行走测试（TUG）对37名机构养老老年人（干预组23名，对照组14名）的姿势平衡进行评估。训练包括每周两次、每次20分钟的跑步机步行锻炼，持续10周。干预组在10周前后以及随访1个月时进行测量。对照组在训练期前后获取数据。
所有运动功能参数均有显著改善（BBS：<0.01；步速：<0.01；步速：<0.01；步速：<0.01；步速）。
目前的结果使我们能够得出结论，跑步机步行计划对机构养老老年人的姿势平衡有积极影响。
