Smart Exercise System for improving coordination in older adults
Official title: Smart Health Care and Innovative Technology Service Model Plan: Development of Innovative Health Promotion System for Senior Adults
Run by National Cheng-Kung University Hospital · NCT07772726 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether a Smart Exercise System with upper- and lower-extremity cycles can improve coordination and physical fitness in adults over 50, compared with a standard home exercise guide.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 50 without significant limb problems, cardiovascular disease, dizziness-related balance issues, or cognitive deficits.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with meaningful limb/joint disabilities, cardiovascular disease history, recent balance problems, or cognitive impairments may not benefit.

What this trial studies
The trial assigns participants over 50 to either a control group using a standard 12-week exercise guide or a Smart Exercise group using a UE E and LE E system for 12 weeks. Both groups train twice weekly for 30 minutes per session, with assessments before and after the program. Outcomes include physical fitness tests, coordination tests, and participant questionnaires to compare changes between groups. The study aims to see if the Smart Exercise System offers additional benefits over conventional guidance.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the Smart Exercise System could enhance coordination and physical fitness in older adults beyond traditional home exercises.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research on smart or assistive exercise devices in older adults has shown potential benefits, but results vary by device and population.
