Modules - Mobility Decline Prevention
ABOUT THIS TRAINING MODULE
This training module provides instructions for implementing two programs that help nursing home residents maintain function in Activities of Daily Living (ADL).
It starts a list of learning objectives. Following that is a discussion of the problem--ADL decline among nursing home residents--with an overview of the solution--exercise. Click here to read this section.
The next sections constitute how-to manuals for implementing two exercise interventions:
- a walking program, appropriate for the minority of residents who are ambulatory, and
- an exercise intervention aimed at the 50-60% of long-stay residents who are incontinent, with many of them severely cognitively impaired.
To scroll from page to page, use the "next" button at the bottom of each page.
How long will it take to read through both "how to" manuals? About 30-45 minutes for the pair of them. Not enough time now for the task? Then print the module in full, or just the pages you select, so that you can browse through them at your leisure.

Elsewhere in this module--Links, FAQs, Related studies--we provide guidance and referrals to other resources that can help you prevent ADL decline among your residents.
Via our Discussion Board you can chat with other healthcare providers about the topic.
