Summary

This study tested a teaching method called backward chaining to help older adults in nursing homes learn how to get up from the floor. 26 residents aged 65 and older took part in 20 sessions with a physiotherapist. The goal was to see if this approach improves mobility, muscle strength, and confidence, and reduces fear of falling.
