Healthy Moves

An Evidence-Based Practice

Description

Healthy Moves provides a simple exercise program for frail older adults, designed to build strength, increase flexibility, reduce falls and decrease pain. The program is provided by trained coaches who may be caregivers or care managers, in the participant's home or community settings.

Goal / Mission

The mission of the program is to shape the evolving health system by developing and spreading high-value models of community-based care and self-management for diverse populations with chronic conditions.

Results / Accomplishments

Key findings show a statistically significant reduction in pain, falls, ability to perform arm curls and step-in-place. Additionally, there was a decrease in depression and increase in exercise.
