Description

[Purpose] To examine the effect and completion rate of Elongation training (ELT) among day rehabilitation service users. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 25 day rehabilitation service users (10 males and 15 females, mean age 83.5 ± 6.5 years) who were divided into an ELT group and a control group. The ELT group performed walking exercises and other exercises with an Elongation Band; and the control group performed exercises, such as range of motion exercises, muscle strengthening exercises, and gait training without an Elongation Band. [Results] The completion rate of the ELT group was 93%. No interactions were found between intervention type (ELT versus control) and intervention period for any outcome measure. The ELT intervention mainly affected quadriceps femoris strength, CS-30, passive hip extension range of motion, sit and reach, TUG and 2ST. [Conclusion] Elongation training demonstrated effects similar to those of physical therapy, and the ELT completion rate was high. Thus, ELT may be useful for improving the outcomes of nursing care.
