This study is looking at how an "Ultrasound spa" might affect healthy aging. You would sit in a special bathtub that uses low-frequency sound waves in the water. Researchers want to see if this helps with muscle strength, thinking skills, immune system aging, and body make-up. To join, you need to be 70 or older, able to walk stairs and get in and out of a bath, and willing to do the spa treatments. The main goal is to see if there's a change in knee extension strength after 8 weeks. This study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.

Study design

This study will involve 20 healthy older adults, split into two groups. One group will receive the ultrasound treatment, and the other will sit in the tub without the ultrasound turned on.

What's involved

You would sit in a special bathtub for 45 minutes, 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Before and after this period, you will have tests for muscle function, thinking skills, blood samples, and body composition.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your knee extension strength will be measured at the beginning and again after 8 weeks.
