Results

The results of the interim analysis suggest that muscle strength and some balance ability can be However, the results of the interim analysis also suggested that the home-based exercise program However, the number of times of voluntary exercise at home, which was also taught, tended to decrease gradually from the time of the start of the program, leaving some issues to be solved for the long-term establishment of voluntary exercise.

Baseline Characteristics

To date, 79 patients (mean age 78.5+-6.1 years, 28 males/51 females, BEAR group: 28, outpatient rehabilitation group: 26, exercise instruction group: 25) have been entered and the intervention was implemented.

Participant flow

Elderly patients who visit the outpatient locomotor frailty clinic at our center and who are referred to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine are eligible for this study. Selection criteria are as follows: elderly patients aged 65 years or older, regardless of gender, capable of independent walking, and informed consent has been obtained.

Adverse events

none.

Outcome measures

Primary endpoints Postural balance ability (Timed Up and Go test: TUG) Secondary endpoints Postural balance ability, lower limb muscle strength, (Functional Reach Test: FRT, Short Physical Performance Battery: SPPB, and Knee Extensor Strength), Exercise Habits (Exercise Time and Frequency as recorded in the Self-Training Checklist), Falls Survey (no falls in the past year at the start of the study, no falls during the study period as recorded in the Health Handbook), Life Span Assessment (LSA), Nutritional Assessment (BDHQ: Brief- type self-administered diet history questionnaire), fear of falling (FES: Fall Efficacy Scale), motivation and affect (Vitality Index: VI, Geriatrics Depression Scale: GDS), and SarcoEvaluation of penia (limb skeletal muscle mass by BIA method, 10 m), comfortable walking speed, grip strength), general biochemical data (blood volume drawn: 14 ml per test; TP, Alb, pre-Alb, CK, BUN, Cre)
