Abstract：
CONCLUSIONS: The activity of daily living (ADL) related to stair climbing is one of the most compromised ADLs among the elders. It requires good muscle strength, balance, and range of motion (ROM) in the lower limb. We aimed to investigate the effects of Yoga complemented with physiotherapy (Intervention group) compared to only physiotherapy (control group) on lower limb muscle strength, balance, and ROMs among elders with ADL limitation in stair climbing. Sixty-five community-dwelling elders with compromised stair climbing were enrolled. Elders who consented to yoga along with physiotherapy were enrolled in the intervention arm. Data were collected and analyzed following 12 weeks of intervention. Endline assessment showed that the intervention group had more improvement in all test scores and ROMs as compared to the control group, although there were improvements in both arms as compared to baseline. Considering the beneficial effects of both interventions, yoga can be added to gain additional advantages.Trial Registration:Indian Clinical Trials Registry number CTRI/2021/08/035825.
摘要：
结论：与爬楼梯相关的日常生活活动（ADL）是老年人中最受损的ADL之一。它需要良好的肌肉力量，balance,和下肢的活动范围（ROM）。我们的目的是研究瑜伽补充理疗（干预组）与仅理疗（对照组）对下肢肌肉力量的影响。balance,爬楼梯有ADL限制的长者中的ROM。招募了65名爬楼梯受损的社区居民。同意瑜伽和物理治疗的老年人被纳入干预组。在干预12周后收集和分析数据。终点评估显示，与对照组相比，干预组的所有考试成绩和ROM都有更多的改善。尽管与基线相比,两组均有改善.考虑到两种干预措施的有益效果，可以添加瑜伽以获得额外的优势。试验注册：印度临床试验登记号CTRI/2021/08/035825。
