The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of progressive resistive exercises on Activities of Daily Living of elderly persons. Participants are selected from healthy elderly men, aged 61-85 years, in Kahrizak charity center. 30 participants were randomly assigned into control or intervention group. Barthel-Index Assessment Test were performed to determine ability level in activities of daily living and Manual Muscle test were done to evaluate the degree of muscle power before and after the intervention by a trained Occupational Therapist. After the baseline assessments, treatment sessions were given, 3 sessions per week, each session about 45 minutes for 8 weeks. Evaluation of shoulder extensors and knee extensors using Tekdyne Incentive Dynamometers (TID) device, pinch and hand grip strength using the MIE, and strengthening of these muscles were measured every 2 weeks. For pinch and grip, at first, maximum power was evaluated by MIE and then graded putty and Theraband was used for strengthening grip and pinch. The control group didn't receive any treatment.
