研究组 & 干预措施
Exercise Participants with Limited Mobility
The task oriented exercise program consists of 45 to 60 minutes of group exercise sessions with the following components:
Warm Up: Walking which is progressively increased from 6 to 15 minutes. Dual task activity is introduced as tolerated by the participants. Participants are able to utilize assistive devices and there were additional supports provided.
Stretching, Strengthening and Balance Activities: Gradual progression of activities and repetitions for 30 minutes that are tailored by the exercise instructor to each participant. Exercises are led by the trainer and performed at the balance bar, in a chair, or in standing. Task oriented activities included items such as: weight shifting, forward/backward/side stepping, squats, forward/backward/side leg raises, toe raises, seated trunk rotations, sit to stand, forward trunk bending, arm rotations, and marching.
Walk/Obstacle Course: The final 6 to 15 minutes included "challenged walking" through an obstacle course.
干预措施: Exercise Group (Other)
