Brief Summary:
This research on Functional Incidental Training FIT primarily involves women residing in community nursing homes It is an individualized rehabilitative protocol intended to improve mobility endurance strength and continence in frail older functionally impaired and disabled veterans
Objectives of the project are as follows
1 Test the effects of FIT on transfer ability continence ambulationmobility balance and fall risk strength and endurance 2 Determine the characteristics of NHCU residents who respond to FIT 3Identify the most sensitive outcome measures related to FIT and 4 Determine the labor costs of FIT relative to usual care

Detailed Description:
This research on Functional Incidental Training FIT primarily involves women in community nursing homes
Objectives
1 test the effects of FIT on functions such as transfer ability continence ambulationmobilitybalance and fall risk strength and endurance 2 determine the characteristics of NHCU residents who respond to FIT 3 identify the most sensitive outcome measures related to FIT and 4 determine the labor costs of FIT relative to usual care
The intervention is an individualized rehabilitative protocol intended to improve mobility endurance strength and continence in frail older functionally impaired and disabled veterans in VA nursing home care unitsNHCUsThe design is a multi-site cross-over design to be carried out in five NHCUs Atlanta Durham Salisbury Augusta Tuscaloosa over about eight months in each site About 24 residents will be recruited in each NHCU 12 each will be randomized to initial intervention and control for 8 wks and evaluated the controls will then receive the intervention and vice versa for another 8 wks with another evaluation Patients are seen 4x a day for FIT activities including walkingusing wheel chair prompted toileting strengthening exercises Outcome measures will be made in a blinded manner by Project Manager
