About
According to National Development Council estimation, Taiwan is about to enter a super-aged society in 2025, and health promotion for the elderly are critical issues nowadays. The age-related decline in motor function will further affect participation in activities of daily living. In addition to conventional rehabilitation training, robot-assisted training has gained acceptance in clinical rehabilitation. However, robot-assisted trainings were mostly used for motor recovery in patients with neurological disorders, and has not yet been applied to motor function training in community dwelling older adults. This study will examine the effect of passive exoskeleton-assisted gait training on motor function, daily function and self- efficacy in community dwelling older adults, so as to achieve health promotion and develop a new training approach. The purpose of this study will be to determine the comparative effects of passive exoskeleton-assisted gait training and conventional gait training on motor and daily function improvements in older adults.
