Study Summary
Exercise can be beneficial for older adults by promoting health, delaying or reversing functional decline, reducing chronic disease risk, decreasing falls, increasing strength and stamina, improving ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL), and improving overall quality of life (QOL). Developing and implementing exercise programs for homebound older adults for whom traveling to routine clinic-based appointments may not be feasible or safe becomes critical. Homebound, older adults are at increased risk for recurrent hospitalization, use of emergency care, nursing home placement, and death. Indeed, one study shows patients had significantly higher risk of being admitted into a hospital or nursing home, higher mortality, and higher health care expenditures compared to those in a comparison group. The purpose of this pilot is to develop and implement a pragmatic and feasible intervention to improve physical functioning in older homebound adults with chronic mobility disability. Unfortunately, little is known about the feasibility and utility of pragmatic home-based exercise rehabilitation in older adults with severe mobility limitations. The investigators propose to develop and implement an intervention targeting functional limitations in this population with mobility disability. Our overall goals are to maintain and restore physical functioning and QOL for older, homebound adults. This research carries direct benefits for these patients as even modest improvements in disabled older adults may translate into significantly better QOL, reduce disability, minimize or reverse gradual declines related to serious chronic disease, resort functional independence, and increase community living capacity. Thus, the specified objectives of finalizing and implementing a sustainable home-based exercise program have practical implications for disabled older adults. Were homebound patients even slightly higher in terms of functional capacity, it could provide a partial degr
