Sarcopenia, characterized by a progressive decline in muscle mass and strength, affects more than 20% of individuals aged over 65 in Taiwan and is a significant risk factor for impaired daily functioning, falls, and increased mortality in older adults. While resistance or aerobic exercises are known to improve muscle strength and function in the elderly, such interventions are challenging to implement long-term in rural care facilities due to limited resources.\n\nThe study aims to determine:\n\nWhether elastic band progressive resistance training can achieve clinical benefits in treating and delaying sarcopenia with minimal rehabilitation personnel.\n\nWhether this training model can be adapted to rural care facilities and other resource-limited settings, aligning with the goals of Taiwan's Long-Term Care 2.0 program.\n\nParticipants will engage in a 12-week program, involving twice-weekly, 30-minute sessions of upper and lower limb resistance training using elastic bands. The training incorporates major muscle groups and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques.\n\nPrimary outcomes:\n\nSkeletal muscle mass index of the limbs Dominant hand grip strength Walking speed SARC-F questionnaire scores\n\nSecondary outcomes:\n\nMaximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of the dominant hand Muscle thickness assessed via ultrasound Functional activities of the dominant upper limb Calf circumference Quality of life indicators\n\nThe study will be conducted in long-term care facilities affiliated with or contracted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare Qishan Hospital. The findings aim to provide evidence for scalable, low-resource sarcopenia interventions suitable for rural and underserved populations.",[26,27],"Sarcopenia","Long Term Care Facility",[29,30,31,32],"sarcopenia","elastic band","progressive resistance training","long-term care facility","RECRUITING","2026-06-17",{"date":36,"type":37},"2026-06-18","ACTUAL",{"date":39,"type":37},"2026-05-05",{"date":41,"type":20},"2026-09-30",{"name":43,"class":44},"Cishan Hospital, Ministry of Health and Welfare","OTHER",1,{"id":47,"slug":48,"hasResults":11,"nctId":49,"briefTitle":50,"officialTitle":51,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":52,"healthyVolunteers":53,"sex":16,"minAge":17,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":54,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":56,"briefSummary":57,"conditions":58,"keywords":59,"overallStatus":33,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":62,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":63,"startDateStruct":65,"completionDateStruct":67,"leadSponsor":69,"locationsCount":5},"100587772","mind-body-intervention-for-older-adults-in-long-term-care-100587772","NCT06932731","Mind-Body Intervention for Older Adults in Long-term Care","The Effects of Mind-Body Intervention Versus Befriending Intervention on Loneliness for Older Adults in Long-term Care: A Randomised Controlled Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Long-term care residents aged 60 or above\n* Communicable in Cantonese\u002FChinese\n* Mentally competent (Abbreviated Mental Test score \\>6)\n* Could read, write and understand Chinese language\n* Able to provide written consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Have regular practice of mindfulness once a week or more during the past 6 months\n* Have any other contraindication or severe comorbidity that may limit their full participation (e.g. acute psychiatric conditions, severe hearing, vision impairment, or severe medical condition etc).",true,{"count":55,"type":20},120,[23],"Loneliness is a global health issue, particularly affecting the physical and mental health of older adults residing in long term care.
