were implemented from March 2020, resulting in an increased number of elderly
people with reduced participation in care and rehabilitation. As a result, the
decline in motor and cognitive functions became more pronounced. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;Purpose: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;The
study examined how activities combining passive horticultural therapy, which is
always introduced, with active functional recovery training, which is used in
the functional recovery training of patients with hemiplegia, influence the
behavior of elder people using the facility. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;Methods:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt; 36 elder people with care need 1 or 2 who regularly used the day-care&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt; facilities after the pandemic ended and who agreed to participate in the study
was included. The assessment data were every three months from December 2021 to
December 2023 after the COVID&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;19 pandemic, the MMSE and Moca-J, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;TMIG-Index, and GDS15. AI-based text mining was
used to compare changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt; in visit reports before and after the
introduction of the Posture Chart and Red Code, and the relationship between
the language used. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;Results: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;_Hlk160108584&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;The results of MMSE
and Moca-J were both significantly higher in Group B and C than in Group A.
