Abstract

Chiropractic improves the body's motor function through correction centered on the spine and pelvis without the use of drugs or surgery. Appropriate prescription programs are reported to restore the physical function of the elderly, prevent aging, and improve vitality. In chiropractic manipulation, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and pelvic areas are called full spines. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of chiropractic full spine calibration and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation training on the improvement of Senior Fitness improvement and pain in the elderly. In this study, we designed an inverse control experiment (chiropractic full spine group, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation training group, and control group) to examined the effects of chiropractic full spine calibration and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation training. As a result, the strength of the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation training group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). Agility of chiropractic full spine group and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation training group was significantly improved (p=0.001). The muscle endurance (p <0.001) and flexibility (p=0.013) before and after training were significantly increased in the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation training group and chiropractic full spine group compared to the control group. The pain levels of the chiropractic full spine group and the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation training group were significantly lower than the control group (p<0.001). This study found that after 12 weeks of training chiropractic full spine and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation training program, the pain of the elderly was decreased, and strength, agility, muscle endurance and flexibility were improved.
