Abstract:

The aging phenomenon results in body organ system debilitating, which causes the balance weakening and makes a fall, fracture rate, and further medical cost to increase. The lack of exercise has been linked to increasing the incidence of hypertension, coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, degenerative arthritis, and diabetes. Chronic disease affects patients both in psychological and physiological functions which limit their daily activity. In the past, many researches pointed out that these patients can improve their balance sensation by exercise. Because of the above reasons, this research implementation forms a wireless platform of information connection system and medical data analysis. First of all, the target population in the society focuses on those elderly with the common chronic diseases, such as skeletal muscle diseases and degenerative arthritis. Using the hydraulic resist practicing equipment as the mainstay intervention can help examinee collecting the practice value and further analysis. The platform of information accords not only the data prior and after the exercise but also graphic data presentation and analysis from the medical staff members providing services in the society. It can also provide the medical unit to create data mold and a body health counselor when services in the society. 1. Introduction According to the definition from WHO, it is called an aging society when the population with age greater than 65 is above 7% in the proportion. The data of population statistics in Department of Household Registration indicates the aging society of Taiwan formed in 1993. The aging rate of Taiwan is only slower than the one of Japan in Asia. How to decrease the need of long-term hospitalization and the cost in society has become an urgent issue. If the age is above 75 years’ old, it is even no half of it comparing with youths [1]. Aging also affects balance system, which results in increasing risk of osteoporosis and fracture and therefore elevates medical burdens. Several researches also indicate that the balance function of those seniors is trainable, which improves their proprioception and prevents falls thereafter [2, 3]. The lack of exercise has been linked to increase in the incidence of hypertension, coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, degenerative arthritis, and diabetes. Chronic disease affects patients both in psychological and physiological functions which limit their daily activity. Aging could depress whole body functions, which also increases the risks of many chronic diseases in senior population. The study of
