Almost 90 percent of residents living in long-term care facilities have some type of mobility limitation, which worsens quickly once they move into a long-term care facility. This means that they cannot easily walk or move around in their day-to-day lives and this can have serious consequences for their general health and well-being. Researchers have shown that exercise can help the mobility of even the oldest of adults but elderly residents in long-term care facilities still commonly sit or lie in bed for long periods of time, in many cases for most of their waking hours. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of a simple physical activity on the mobility and quality of life of residents in long-term care facilities. Researchers will introduce a sit-to-stand activity to health care aides which will become part of their daily routine with residents. The basic sit-to-stand movement is already a part of the daily activities that health care aides do with residents. Specifically, health care aides will ask residents to repeat the sit-to-stand activity at mealtimes, when using the toilet, and on other occasions of daily activity. An important part of this research is to find out how well the activity preserves the ability of residents to stay mobile and also to examine how this will improve their quality of life in the home. The MOVE study will demonstrate whether it is possible to delay the loss of mobility in long-term care residents by incorporating the sit-to-stand activity into the regular practice of health care aides.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change from Baseline in Mobility at 3 and 6 months | The sit-to-stand action is a functional activity that has been incorporated into a number of mobility measures. We have chosen to measure mobility using the number of sit-to-stands in 30 seconds because in the frail nursing home population many residents have difficulty transferring (e.g.standing up from a chair). In our pilot study we found many residents were unable to complete more than two or three sit-to-stands. Residents will be instructed to stand up and sit down as many times as possible until they are asked to stop after 30 seconds (Jones, Rikli, & Beam, 1999). | Baseline, 3-Months, 6-Months | |
Secondary | Change from Baseline in Function at 3 and 6 months | The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is an 18-item performance-based instrument which assesses the amount of assistance required to complete basic activities of daily living using a 7-point scale graded from 1 (dependent) to 7 (independent) (Jones & Feeny, 2006). | Baseline, 3-Months, 6-Months | |
Secondary | Change from Baseline in Health Related Quality of Life at 3 and 6 months | The Health Utilities Index Mark 2 and 3 (HUI2/3) is a generic health related quality of life questionnaire based on two generic multi-attribute preference-based systems: the HUI2 and the HUI3. The HUI2 assesses capacity on six dimensions (or attributes) of health status: sensation (vision, hearing, and speech), mobility, emotion, cognition, self-care, and pain. The HUI3 consists of eight attributes: vision; hearing; speech; ambulation; dexterity; emotion; cognition; and, pain (Furlong, et al., 2011). | Baseline, 3-Months, 6-Months | |
Secondary | Change from Baseline in Dementia Specific Quality of Life at 3 and 6 Months | The Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease (QofL-AD) was developed to capture the domains considered important to quality of life in Lawton's broad conceptual framework: the interpersonal; environmental; functional; physical; and, psychological domains. The 13 items including physical health, energy, mood, living situation, memory, family, marriage, friends, self as a whole, ability to do chores around the house, fun, money, life as a whole scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (poor) to 4 (excellent) (Lawton, 1983; 1991). | Baseline, 3-Months, 6-Months |
