Treatment and study plan

Exercise group

Other

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).

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in 6 Minute Walk Test

    Time frame: Baseline to 6 months

    A submaximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and cardiorespiratory fitness.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Activities Balance Confidence Scale

    Time frame: Baseline to 6 months

    Assesses balance confidence in ambulatory adults and can be used as a predictor for future falls in community dwelling older adults.

  2. Change in Short Form 36

    Time frame: Baseline to 6 months

    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.

  3. Change in Gait Speed

    Time frame: Baseline to 6 months

    A measure of the time it takes to travel 10 meters at a pace that is normal for the individual.
