Effect of Plasten activity on home-based elderly people with stroke and vertebral compression fracture etc on behavioral change stage and body composition.

Abstract

The target was 15 of day care users with care level of 1 or 2. Fill out a questionnaire, inspect with a body composition analyzer, and evaluate the behavior change stage. We proposed a Plasten activity and had it carried out for 4 weeks, and 4 weeks later, we conducted the same evaluation and inspection as the first time. The behavior change stage had the highest rate of transition from the preparatory stage to the execution stage. Regarding the behavior change stage after the Plasten activity proposal, the subjects who the behavior change stage was good are households with only couples, who could continue exercising for 30 minutes or more, who had a good subjective health feeling and subjects who answered that there was no anxiety about their future life. People between the ages of 75 to 84 and women are good. The bad stage subjects were men aged 85 over who lived alone who were unable to continue exercising every day and were not healthy with a subjective sense of health. Significant changes in skeletal muscle mass and basal metabolic rate were observed after the proposal of Plasten activity. Even elderly people in need of long-term care may be able to change their behavior by advocating Plasten activities.
