Geriatric Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
Improving Mobility in Residential Aged Care: Comparing the Benefits of Two Resistance Exercise Programs
This study aims to test which of three exercise programs, previously demonstrated valuable
for residential aged care adults, has the greatest benefit for walking speed and the
spatiotemporal parameters that define it. The programs to be included are:
1. The GrACE program and
2. The GrACE plus Gait specific training.
This study will employ a non-randomised controlled design in which three different 24-week
exercise programs and a non-exercising control group will be compared in the residential
aged care (RAC) setting. The three programs are the GrACE and the GrACE plus a gait specific
training program.
Data Collection
~40 participants from two RAC facilities will be recruited into the study. This number of
participants will provide 80% statistical power to identify moderate effect size between
group differences on the primary outcome measures. The control group will be drawn from each
of the RAC facility approached receiving exercise treatment. Participation will be informed
by a discussion with the facilities Service Manager about the eligibility of participants
and a medical history screen undertaken. All participants will provide informed written
consent prior to participation.
Participants in the exercise group will perform twice weekly training for 24 weeks. Data
will be collected at 0 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks in the control and exercise groups.
