Multicomponent Exercise Program on Physical Function, Cognition and Falls Risk Among Older Adults Living in Nursing Homes (MOVE4CARE)
This trial is testing whether a structured multicomponent exercise program — combining strength, balance, and aerobic activity — improves physical function, thinking skills, and reduces falls in nursing home residents, compared to a basic stretching and relaxation program. It is a Phase NA trial, meaning this is a straightforward head-to-head comparison study rather than a traditional drug-approval phase. No medications are involved.
You may qualify if
- Ability to ambulate (with or without assistance);
- Ability to perform chair stands (with or without assistance);
- Ability to understand and properly follow testing procedures.
You're excluded if
- Any contraindication that precludes exercise performance or testing procedures, including terminal illness, uncontrolled disease, or other unstable medical conditions;
- Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score \< 3 points;
- Participation in any exercise intervention within the past 3 months;
- Simultaneous participation in another clinical trial during the study;
- Planned transfer to another nursing home facility, to home, or to hospitalization during the intervention.
