Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of low-intensity resistance training on balance function and depression in elderly patients in nursing hospital. Methods Totally 60 elderly patients were randomly divided into study group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases). Based on routine drug treatment and nursing, the control group received routine exercise training once a day, 30 min each time, 5 d a week for 6 months, while the study group received both routine exercise training and low-intensity resistance training every day, 30 min each time, 5 d a week, and continuous training for 6 months. One week before treatment, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment, BioRescue & BioVal whole body intelligent rehabilitation system was used to calculate the surface area scores of gravity moving trajectory to evaluate their balance ability for the patients in two groups. In addition, the elderly depression scale was used to evaluate the emotional state of the elderly patients before and after treatment. Results In control group, the surface area score of gravity moving trajectory and geriatric depression scale score after 6 months were improved than those in 1 week before treatment (P<0.05), while both scores after 3 months didn’t show difference (P>0.05). In the study group, compared with 1 week before treatment and 3 months after training, the surface area score of gravity moving trajectory and the geriatric depression scale score were improved after 6 months training (both P<0.05). In addition, two scores after 6 months in study group were better than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Low intensity resistance training combined with conventional drug therapy and nursing has a positive effect on improving balance function and depression state of elderly patients in nursing hospital.
