An interventional study of Exercise Group in Mobility Limitation and Fall, sponsored by Youngstown State University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-03-04.
Sponsored by Youngstown State University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured and progressive task-oriented, community based exercise program for older adults who have limitations in mobility and examine whether improvements in mobility and quality of life would be seen following completion at 6 months.
317 studies on the registry are indexed under Mobility Limitation; 97 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 38 is below the median of 46 across 265 interventional studies indexed under Mobility Limitation.

Exclusion Criteria:
The task oriented exercise program consists of 45 to 60 minutes of group exercise sessions with the following components: Warm Up: Walking which is progressively increased from 6 to 15 minutes. Dual task activity is introduced as tolerated by the participants. Participants are able to utilize assistive devices and there were additional supports provided. Stretching, Strengthening and Balance Activities: Gradual progression of activities and repetitions for 30 minutes that are tailored by the exercise instructor to each participant. Exercises are led by the trainer and performed at the balance bar, in a chair, or in standing. Task oriented activities included items such as: weight shifting, forward/backward/side stepping, squats, forward/backward/side leg raises, toe raises, seated trunk rotations, sit to stand, forward trunk bending, arm rotations, and marching. Walk/Obstacle Course: The final 6 to 15 minutes included "challenged walking" through an obstacle course.
Other: Exercise Group
The exercise program is led by an individual who has a background in exercise physiology and is trained by the Physical Therapist. The task oriented exercise program consists of 45 to 60 minutes of group exercise sessions with the following components: warm-up period (dual task activity and walking progressively), stretching/strengthening/balance (gradual progression of activities and repetitions for 30 minutes), and obstacle course (6 to 15 minutes of obstacle course and challenged walking).
Change in 6 Minute Walk Test
A submaximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and cardiorespiratory fitness.
Time frame: Baseline to 6 months
Change in Activities Balance Confidence Scale
Assesses balance confidence in ambulatory adults and can be used as a predictor for future falls in community dwelling older adults.
Time frame: Baseline to 6 months
Change in Short Form 36
A 36-item survey measuring physical function (PF), role limitations due to physical health problems, role limitations due to emotional problems, bodily pain, general health perceptions, energy/fatigue, social functioning, as well as mental health and emotional well-being.
Time frame: Baseline to 6 months
Change in Gait Speed
A measure of the time it takes to travel 10 meters at a pace that is normal for the individual.
Time frame: Baseline to 6 months
