Abstract

This project addressed the lack of structured exercise guidance for older adults with limited mobility by developing a two-page seated exercise program focused on strength and fall prevention. The handout was reviewed by a physical therapist assistant for safety, shared with patients at Newtown Primary Care, and taught in a workshop at Maplewood Assisted Living. Feedback showed participants found the exercises easy to follow, motivating, and helpful for staying active. This intervention provided a simple, accessible way to reduce fall risk and promote physical activity among older adults.
