The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change of muscular strength in home-care cases with and without health education of muscular strength training during the period of home-care. A quasi-experimental two groups pretest-posttest research design was designed as a guide for this study. The subjects are purposive sampling from home-care cases in a medical center. Among 53 subjects who finished the training program, 27 of them were in the experimental group, and 26 of them were in the control group. The experimental group was intervened by a physical therapist giving evaluation and guidance of home-care rehabilitation exercises. The home care nurses called the patients twice a week, and asked their relatives for the status of muscular strength training during home visits. After 45 days, muscular strength of the limbs is measured for both groups. The chi-square test showed that both groups had no difference in basic characteristics such as gender, age, consciousness, and number of chronic diseases. Two groups data of muscular strength were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed ranks. There was a statistically significant difference in left upper limb in control group (p＜.05) and was statistically significant difference in both upper and lower limbs in experimental group (p＜.001). The results as a reference of health education of muscular strength for home care cases.
