[Purpose] To determine the benefits of passive exercise machine-based training for elderly female nursing home residents (NHDOW). [Subjects] Twenty-eight NHDOW were divided into two groups (exercise group (EG) n=14, and control group (CG) n=14). [Methods] Twelve weeks of passive training (twice a week, 40 min per day) was conducted for EG. Effects of training were evaluated by measuring arm curl (AC), chair stand (CS), up and go (UG), sit and reach (SR), back scratch (BS), functional reach (FR), and 12 min walk (TW) of all the participants before and after the training. [Results] At pre-test, all participants’ functional fitness level was lower than that of the same age norm of community-dwelling older adults. After training, a significant interaction was noted between CS and TW performance, in both EG and CG, along with significant improvement (CS 25.1% and TW 24.3%) in EG only. Mean attendance rate for EG was 97% with no incidence of injury during the study. [Conclusion] Passive exercise was found to be beneficial and safe for elderly female nursing home residents.
