Supporting Uptake of Evidence for Physical Activity in Older Adults With Complex Health Care Needs (NCT06894914)
Moving More: Supporting Uptake of Evidence for Physical Activity in Older Adults With Complex Health Care Needs
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Physically frail older adults often have chronic conditions that contribute to a higher chance of them being limited in daily activities and becoming dependent. Physical activity can help to better manage chronic conditions and prevent frailty. In this project, the counselling approach using the new Canadian 24-hour Movement Guidelines will be adapted for older adults at an early state of frailty. This new approach will be tested against the one in current use by physiotherapists. This ethics application will address the pilot implementation evaluation, including interviews and focus groups, conducted to refine the new approach.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (3 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (13 items).
