Abstract

Functional training has a significant positive effect on increase of physical ADL. Functional training based on the Health and Medical Service Law for the Elderly is an effective program especially for homebound and/or frail people who are at risk of becoming bedridden. Further longitudinal studies are now needed to improve functional training for increasing ADL and QOL.
