Abstract

Background  The global elderly population brings significant health and social challenges, particularly related to the decline in motor function that leads to a low quality of life. This study aims to systematically review the impact of motor interventions, such as physical exercise and rehabilitation. Methods. This study uses a systematic review method with reference to the PRISMA guidelines, which were published in 2019 to 2024. Results. Findings show that various forms of motor interventions have a significant positive impact on the physical and mental health of the elderly. Home-based exercises, such as specific exercise programs for kyphosis, show significant improvements in physical strength, mobility, and balance and use of exergame or game-based exercise has been shown to increase the motivation of the elderly to engage in physical activity. Conclusions. This review emphasizes the important role of motor interventions in improving the quality of life of the elderly, both through improving physical function and psychological well-being. The results of this study show the need to develop rehabilitation programs that focus on community-based motor training and technology to support the health of the elderly holistically. The implementation of a community-based approach can be the foundation of future elderly health policies.
