Sumario: | [Purpose] We aimed to investigate the effects of the Otago Exercise Program in older hypertensive patients with pre-frailty. [Participants and Methods] Participants were randomly divided into the (Otago Exercise Program OEP) group (n=37) and the control group (n=38). The OEP group completed the exercise step 3 times during hospitalization. For 12 weeks, the OEP group exercised at home and the control group completed daily walking activities ≥3 times per week. [Results] There were significant differences in FRAIL scale score, 10-meter gait speed, one-leg standing test results, and functional reach test results between the two groups. In addition to the above indicators, the differences in diastolic blood pressure were also statistically significant between the two groups before and after intervention. [Conclusion] The OEP can improve frailty and the ability to perform activity in older hypertensive patients with pre-frailty. Diastolic blood pressure decreases significantly after intervention. |
