Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: Randomized controlled trial of a teaching the getting up from the floor using the Backward Chaining Method for older people living in long-term care facility. The assessment of primary and secondary outcomes takes place in all subjects upon entry to the study (pre-test) by blinded assessors and after the 20-session intervention (post-test). After baseline assessments is completed, participants will be randomly allocated to intervention or control groups using stratified randomization based on the use of walking aids and baseline values of FES-I.
The BCM sessions will be provided in a community room situated in the nursing home and will be led by a physiotherapist with extensive experience in geriatric physiotherapy with assistance of 2 physiotherapist student.
Only stable chairs provided for supporting and safety, wedge pillows, and training mats are required during practicing.
Expected results Improvement in functional mobility of the IG Improvement in lower and upper limb muscle strength Improvement in fall efficacy Improvement in life-space mobility

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
intervention group
Practicing in getting up from the floor is taught with backward chaning method, three times per week for 7 weeks plus usual care provided at the nursing home.
floor rise training using backward chaining method
Each session lasts for 40 minutes starting with a five minutes warming-up including flexibility exercises and ends with a five minutes cooling-down consisting of stretching and breathing exercises. Warming-up is followed by the practicing of getting up floor taught with BMC involving the following 7 steps:
Step 1: descending from a standing position to half kneeling on a wedge pillow. Step 2: descending from a standing position to half kneeling on the floor. Step 3: Like step 2, then descending both knees to the floor into a high kneeling position. Step 4: Like step 3, then descending both hands to the floor one at a time, to come to a prone kneeling position. Step 5: Like step 4, then descending of the body to half sitting. A pillow can be positioned under the hip to soften the floor surface. Step 6: Like step 5, then descending of the body to side lying position. Step 7: Like step 6, then turning from side-lying to supine
