Promoting activity in the elderly through interdisciplinary linkages
Abstract:
Interdisciplinary collaboration helped a group of health care providers plan, implement, and evaluate an exercise program for sedentary older adults in a long-term care facility. The program, designed as a research study, can be implemented by paraprofessional care givers with minimal supervision. The synergy resulting from collaboration between the investigator and colleagues in the practice arena was the cornerstone of the program's success. This paper describes the results of a Sit and Get Fit exercise program, a project funded by The University of Akron.
