Home exercise program for frail older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program using your smartphone or tablet can help improve your strength, walking ability, and quality of life. If you are an older adult feeling more frail than before, you may be able to join from home with a coach guiding you remotely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older, and live in your own home or apartment (not in a nursing home).
- You feel more frail than you used to (for example, you lose weight without trying, feel exhausted, walk slower, or are less active).
- You can stand up and walk about 30 feet without using a cane, walker, or help from another person.
- You have a smartphone or tablet with internet access at home (you don't need to be a computer expert).
- You do not have a recent fracture, recent heart attack, severe breathing problems, or uncontrolled high blood pressure/diabetes, and you are not already in another exercise program.
