Interventions for promoting mobility in community‐dwelling older adults

Abstract

Prescribing regular physical activity including aerobic exercise and resistance training in a primary care setting can be a beneficial approach to minimize progression of impaired mobility in older adults. The typical dose of the physical activity prescription is 20-60 min of aerobic activity three times weekly. Adherence to mobility enhancement recommendations by older patients can be followed up by in-person interview or use of mobility monitoring tools such as exercise diary or log.

“…The difficulty in identifying the best path and in making 1 The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union' proper reactions to unexpected contingencies gradually reduce the confidence of the impaired person in using public spaces. The afflicted are most often older adults and the problem worsens quickly if no adequate countermeasure is taken [3,37]. They are deprived of essential social relations with a negative impact on their physical condition (reduced exercise), on their psychological wellbeing (reduced social contact) and even on the quality of their nutrition when they reduce the frequency of their visits to supermarkets [35,1].…”

The Effects of a 10-Week Group-Based Exercise Program on Lower Extremity Strength, Balance and Functional Mobility in Community- Dwelling Older Adults: A Pilot Study

“…Many studies [12,16,17] have determined that exercise is a key component in improving physical function in older communitydwelling adults. Successful exercise programs include a specific balance component, in addition to strengthening, flexibility and conditioning exercises [5,6].…”

“…Successful exercise programs include a specific balance component, in addition to strengthening, flexibility and conditioning exercises [5,6]. It is also widely accepted that participation in regular exercise can reduce falls rate, improve the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL), and improve quality of life (QOL) [12,15,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Several studies [12,15,20,21,23] that assessed the effects of combined low to moderate intensity exercise interventions have shown improvements in balance control, muscular strength, flexibility, functional mobility and an overall reduction in falls risk.…”
