Fifty-one subjects were randomly assigned into control and experimental groups; 26 persons in the control group and 25 persons in the experimental group.

Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, independent t- test, and paired t - test. Research results revealed that: 1. The activities of daily living score of the experimental group was statistically significantly higher than that of the control group (p < .001); and 2.
