Abstract

BACKGROUND

The elderly population is increasing rapidly, and physical function is an important factor for their independent lives. Many face-to-face exercises are being conducted to improve the old individuals' physical function, but those exercises are significantly costly and are subject to various constraints such as location and weather.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to determine the effects of an 8-week structured, comprehensive home-based exercise program called "Smart health continuous feedback for elderly exercise (SHe CoFFEE)" on mobility among older adults.

METHODS

Sixty older adults from the community were randomly divided into experimental and control groups at a 1:1 ratio. Before the program, participants received the necessary equipment. The "SHe CoFFEE" program comprised four main components: continuous feedback, self-assessment for self-motivation, real-time group fall prevention exercise, and individual exercises. Participants received ongoing support from the researchers to ensure their consistent participation in the exercise program. Participants were assessed during their visits using the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), 10-m walking test (10MWT), 30-second chair stand test (30 CST), the Korean version of the falls efficacy scale – International (KFES-I), the activities-specific balance confidence (ABC), and Korean version of Euro Qol 5 Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L).

RESULTS

The experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in mobility, as indicated by the TUG (P<.05) and 10MWT tests (P<.05). Moreover, positive impacts were observed in the 30CST, FES-I, and ABC assessments.

CONCLUSIONS

Non-face-to-face fall prevention exercise interventions based on ICT can be successful in older adults if participation is enhanced through continuous feedback, self-assessment for self-motivation, and real-time group exercises.
