The Intervention Study Of Lower Limb Muscles Strength Exerciseon The Eldly In Nursing Homes

Objective: Design a set of lower limb muscle exercises suitable for the elderly in nursing homes,and evaluate the effect of lower limb muscle exercises on the elderly,to provide effective intervention method to improve the lower limb muscle strength and other physical activity ability in the elderly.Aging trend has become increasingly obvious in China,the traditional family endowment can not meet the demand for the old-age,nursing homes has become an important compose of social endowment,the elderly health in nursing homes also has caused the wide attention of scholars.Studies showed that,lower limb muscle of elderly people over the age of 60 recession 40~ 50%.Combined with sedentary lifestyle in the elderly in nursing homes,lower limb muscle disuse atrophy is more likely to occur,which is not only a serious threat to going to toilet,walking up and down the stairs and so on,also reduce the social interactions,aggravating negative emotions,such as the loneliness of old people.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen the lower limb muscle strength of old people for improving the physical and mental health of the elderly and improving the quality of life in the elderly.Research both at home and abroad showed that exercise is very effective to strength lower limb muscle among old adults,which has aroused wide attention of scholars.This study aims to develop a set of lower limb muscle strength exercise suitable for the elderly in nursing homes,and to explore whether it will improve the lower limb muscle strength,walking ability,and loneliness,improve the physical and mental health.Methods:1 Develope the lower limb muscle strength exercise: Based on the old people's physical and mental characteristics,reading literature at home and abroad,and under the guidance of related experts developing a set of lower limb muscle exercises suitable for old people in the nursing homes.It include six movement such as seated calf raise,seated leg tucks,standing calf raise,hook foot posture,standing leg,bend your knees slightly,which work the biceps femoris muscle,quadriceps,gastrocnemius and soleus of lower limbs.2 The implementation of the lower limb muscle strength in the elderly:Select 52 elders in nursing homes.Inaccordance with the floor,we divided them into the experimental group and the control group,and one group got 25,another got 27.The control group underwent routine daily care,while the experimental group received lower limb muscles strength exercise for 16 weeks,three times a week.In the form of collective exercise,exercise was led by researchers.Researchers and members of nursing homes form a "safe quality control team",in charge of patrol,guidance and prevent fall in the process of exercise;and regularly encourage the elders and dredge the negative mood for enhancing the exercise faith,improve the exercise adherence of old adults.To evaluate the efficacy of the intervention after 16 weeks of exercise by Five sit test(FTSST),To stand up to walk test(TUGT),loneliness scale(ULS-8).Using Epidata3.1 to input and check data.All data were analyzed by using statistical software SPSS21.0.Measurement data is expressed by x ±s;by using t test on two sample compare means;Count data by chi-square test.All inspection method adopts double side,inspection level a = 0.05.Results:1 Comparison in the group,there was significant difference on FTSST,TUGT,ULS-8 before and after intervention in experiment group(P< 0.05).;there was no significant difference on FTSST,TUGT,ULS-8 before and after intervention in control group(P> 0.05).2 Comparison between groups,there was significant difference on FTSST,TUGT,ULS-8 between the two groups.(P< 0.05).Conclusion:1 The lower limb muscle exercises can improve the the lower limb muscle strength of old people in the nursing homes,delaying muscle recession.2 The lower limb muscle exercises can improve the walking ability of the old,to a certain extent improve the ability of independence.3 The lower limb muscle strength exercises in the form of collective exercise can decrease the loneliness of old people.
