Passive and active exercises are similarly effective in elderly nursing home residents

Passive motion exercise and active motion exercise were found to be similarly effective for improving the functional fitness of elderly nursing home residents.

Regular physical activity and/or exercises are recommended for all elderly people, but many of them do not like to do exercise on a regular basis. Thus, it is very important to develop a suitable exercise menu for very old people so that they will be able to adhere to the program safely.
