Locomotive Syndrome Digital Therapeutics Provided via a Smartphone App: Proof-of-Concept Single-Group Trial Study Background: Individuals with locomotive syndrome (LS) have muscle weakness and reduced motor function due to musculoskeletal disorders that cause reduced mobility and physical function. In Japan, musculoskeletal disorders are the most common reason for requiring home support or nursing care, highlighting the need for preventing and ameliorating LS. Middle-aged and older adults sometimes encounter difficulty making a habit of exercise therapy (the mainstay of LS treatment). Objective: We investigated whether digital therapeutics (DTx) can prevent or ameliorate LS in middle-aged and older adults. Methods: We conducted a prospective, longitudinal, nonrandomized, single-group study of Japanese aged 40 years and older who were eligible for LS checkups (N=47). Each participant underwent an 8-week locomotion training intervention based on DTx supervised by medical staff. We objectively assessed the participants’ subjective and objective motor abilities and motor awareness with the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25), and Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-3 at baseline (before the DTx), an interim point (4 wk after the DTx initiation), and a final evaluation (8 wk post-DTx initiation). We compared the scores of the 3 tests at the 3 time points as dependent variables in a 3-factor ANOVA with Bonferroni correction (significance defined as 0.05/3=0.0167). Results: No increase in amotivation to exercise or refusal to exercise was observed. Significant improvements at 8 weeks versus the baseline were observed in the TUG scores (baseline: 9.0, 95% CI 8.4‐9.6; 8 wk: 7.5, 95% CI 7.1‐8.0; =.001) and GLFS-25 results (baseline: 18.7, 95% CI 14.5‐22.8; 8 wk: 11.7, 95% CI 8.8‐14.7; =.004). The Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-3 and its subscale data did not differ significantly at any assessment time point. Conclusions: These results indicate that an 8-week locomotive training intervention using DTx significantly improved middle-aged and older adults’ TUG and GLFS-25 scores and will help prevent and ameliorate LS and establish better exercise habits among them.

Wing and I both have appointments at SporTreat today. I swear, with me going there twice to three times a week, and Wing going in occasionally going in for a remedial massage, we should either invest in the place (stock options) or a room of our own there. #physiotherapy #exerciseTherapy

Went for a walk with a bit of running. Little bit of elliptical every morning is helping with knee strength. Overdid it a bit but it does help with the anxiety. #exercisetherapy #newzealand #brightmoments #runrunrun

I personal don’t agree at the slogan “exercise is medicine” - I think this is patronizing! Exercise is so much more … as A.K. Swisher as Editor-in-Chief already stated ages ago. Oldie but Goldie. Don’t you think so too? #physiotherapy | #physicaltherapy | #exercisetherapy | #sport | #fitness | #ICF
