Detailed Description

This study is a single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Elderly residents were recruited from two LTCFs in Yilan county. The experimental group (N=14) received a 90-minute partnered multicomponent exercises intervention once weekly for 12 weeks. The control group (N=14) carried out the usual activities without intervention. The Barthel Index (BI), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), De Morton Mobility Index(DEMMI), handgrip strength, and Chinese Happiness Inventory (CHI) were measured before and after the interventions.
