Living Independence Through Functional Training for Mobility and Cognitive Issues

This study, called "Living Independence Through Functional Training," is looking at a six-week exercise program for older adults recently discharged from home health care. The program involves "task-oriented resistance exercise," which includes progressive resistance exercises and daily activity exercises, delivered both in-person and online. The goal is to see if this program can help improve mobility and thinking skills (cognition) in people aged 65 to 90 who have mobility limitations and some cognitive decline. We'll measure success by looking at changes in physical performance and cognitive ability over 12 weeks. The study plans to enroll 10 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 10 participants. The phase of the study is not specified.
What's involved
You would participate in a six-week exercise program, ideally with three sessions per week. Your physical performance and cognitive ability would be measured at the beginning, at 8 weeks, and at 12 weeks.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your progress will be followed for 12 weeks after the start of the study.
