摘要

臺灣正面臨高齡社會的衝擊，使得「預防跌倒」之健康議題日益受到重視，強化高齡族群下肢肌力已證實可有效降低跌倒之風險。現今已有許多維持肌力的訓練方法，然而對於高齡者介入的運動訓練，需特別考量到安全性及便利性之問題，其中「步行運動」是最受高齡者所喜愛的日常運動，若能在步行運動中，讓高齡者在安全使用的範疇下，穿戴可調整附加重量之健走鞋或慢跑鞋，以數個承載重量的負重套筒附加於足跟支撐架（heel counter），並可更換不同數量之圓柱體金屬法碼，依照自行能力進行不同負重的調整，以作為增強運動強度的運動輔具，並落實將訓練融入生活的理念。此必能增加高齡者日常步行之訓練效果，亦能維持及提升下肢骨骼肌系統能力，並預防跌倒的發生，使高齡族群能達到成功「活躍老化」的效應。

The aging impact had been a major considerable issue in Taiwan, aging has extended many health-related problems, so prevention of falls is an important issue for everyone. The importance of improving lower limb strength had been indicated as an important factor for preventing the risk of falls in the elderly. Nowadays, there are many different kinds of exercise training to maintain muscle strength. However, there is still safety and convenience issue need to be considered during the customized training program in the elderly. Thus, walking became the most acceptable and popular daily exercise among elder adult. Under the premise of application safety, adjustable weighted-shoes as a training device to enhance their lower limb strength and implemented the concept of integrating training into daily basis. By this training concept, improved lower extremity muscle activation, which may maintain muscle strength or even became stronger for decreasing the incidence of falls. In summary, the adjustable weighted-shoe as a training device could be a new acceptable training method and achieved the goal of successful aging for the elderly.
