Reporter brief
Robot-assisted resistance training for sarcopenia in older adults shows unclear efficacy in 8-week RCT
What happened
This was a randomized controlled trial comparing 8 weeks of lower-limb rehabilitation robot training plus nutrition education versus usual care (exercise and nutrition education) in adults aged 60+ with sarcopenia. The study measured muscle mass, body composition, strength, walking ability, balance, and quality of life at baseline, week 5, and week 8.
