NCT ID NCT07283510

Summary

This small pilot study tested whether a 16-week community-based exercise program could help older adults (60+) with long-term mobility disabilities. The program focused on functional movements like standing up and walking to see if it could improve physical strength, balance, and endurance. Researchers wanted to find out if this type of program was practical and showed promise for helping this group stay more independent.
