Remote therapy helps seniors move more, hurt less
NCT ID NCT07421999
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small study tested whether a 6-week remote occupational therapy program could help older adults living in affordable senior housing become more physically active and manage pain. Six residents took part in individual and group sessions led by an occupational therapist over video or phone. The goal was to see if the program was practical and well-liked, not to prove it works.
