JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe physical activity level of elderly disabled persons was measured through variations of their heart rate in daily life for a period of 24 hours.
Thirty elderly disabled persons were investigated. They were living in the geriatric nursing home for disabled elderly persons. There were 11 males and 19 females of ages ranging from 66 to 92. The subjects were divided into three groups according to their degree of mobility, including an independent ambulated group (A), a wheel-chair group (B), and a bed-ridden group (C).
The results were summarized as follows: Concerning the point of daily life spent in the nursing home, they spent less time for social activities-more time for resting or idleness, and physical exercise was extremely reduced. There were no significant differences in use of daily time among the groups. The mean heart rate per day varied from 63 beats/min to 73 beats/min, and no differences were noted in respect to sex. Neither were differences noted among the groups. The maximum, minimum and mean heart rates were increased during waking more than sleeping, as a whole. Major daily activities that increased the heart rate were changing position, taking meals, etc.
The physical activity level of the elderly disabled persons was found to be very low, especially for the independent ambulated group. It is necessary to set up a program for general conditioning exercises for all groups.View full abstractDownload PDF (1037K) -
