Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will test the feasibility the Adapted Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise (LiFE) program among medically underserved older adults. Sixteen medically underserved older adults will be recruited in the study and randomized to Adapted LiFE or attention control group (flexibility exercise program). Process outcomes and preliminary outcomes will be collected to determine feasibility and preliminary efficacy. Process outcomes such as reach, acceptance, adherence, fidelity, and safety will also be collected throughout the study. Preliminary efficacy outcomes include habit formation, balance, muscle strength will be collected at baseline and at immediately after intervention is completed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Adapted LiFE

Participants in the Adapted LiFE group learns to imbed 19 exercise activities (7 balance and 12 lower extremity muscle strength activities) into daily routines. An Occupational Therapy practitioner conducts 7 in-home visits over 12 weeks and a follow phone call a month after the last in-home visit.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Adapted LiFE

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The standardized components include presenting the Adapted LiFE user manual to participants, and teach participants to embed the exercise activities in their daily routine with the LiFE activity calendar.

Attention control

Participants in the attention control group will learn gentle stretch exercise. An Occupational Therapy practitioner conducts 7 in-home visits over 12 weeks and a follow phone call a month after the last in-home visit.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Attention control

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Attention will be provided to the control group to ensure they experience the same effects of time and attention but no effect on the outcome of interest.
