Methods: A quasi experimental pretest post-test control group study was conducted on 40 elderly people residing in old age homes of pathanamthitta district using non probability purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using Manual muscle strength and WHOQOL-BRIEF. Non parametric tests were used for analysis. Results & conclusions: The effect of exercise and quality of life compared between groups using Mann Whitney U test [U (18) =0.000; 95%CI] & [U (17.058=0.000; 95%CI]. Upper and lower limbs Pre and post comparison done using Z test and the correlation between upper and lower muscle strength with quality of life was calculated using spearman?s correlation coefficient showed that there is high correlation. There is no association between muscle strengths, quality of life and selected baseline variables. The study concluded that thera-band exercises are very effective in improving muscle strength.
