An interventional study of Interactive Stepping Exercise and Home exercise program in Health Service for the Aged, sponsored by National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. Status unknown at 1 site in Taiwan. Open to participants aged 65 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-09-11.
Sponsored by National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The present study is to examine the effects of interactive stepping exercise on executive function and gait variability in community-dwelling older adults
This is a single blinded, randomized controlled trial. 40 community-dwelling older adults will be recruited and randomly assigned to either experimental group (n=20) or control group (n=20). The 12-week intervention comprises of 1-hour exercise per day and 3 days per week. The experimental group will receive interactive stepping exercise while the control group will be put under home exercise program. Primary outcome measures are executive function and gait variability. Secondary outcome measures include community walking test and other gait parameters (gait velocity, stride length and stride time). The participants will receive assessment at pre- and post-intervention
National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University is the lead sponsor of 201 studies on the registry; 58 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Interactive Stepping Exercise (1 hour, 3 times/week, 12 weeks) The 1-hour training program will start with10 minutes warm-up session, after that 40 minutes of ISE, and ended with 10 minutes of cool down session. Interactive Stepping Exercise (ISE) will perform on a thin mat that was partitioned into 24 squares. The ISE program included forward, backward, lateral and oblique steps, and step patterns were progressively made more complicated.
Other: Interactive Stepping Exercise
60 minutes, 3 times/week, 12 weeks of home exercise
Other: Home exercise program
Interactive Stepping Exercise will perform on a thin mat, stepping pattern will display through a monitor screen, immediate auditory feedback will give for adjustment
Home exercise program includes stretching exercise, general strengthening exercise on lower extremity muscles, posture control and balance exercise.
