Summary

The purpose of this project is to study how to adapt and implement the 3-Step Workout for Life program in a local home health agency. A series of learning cycles will be conducted to adjust the treatment dose and delivery mode. The specific aim is to evaluate the implementation-related clinical and patient outcomes.

Detailed description

Medicare beneficiaries admitted to home health agencies are often in frail status with decreased muscle strength and difficulty in performing activities of daily living. The purpose of the proposed research is to study how to adapt and implement the 3-Step Workout for Life program by the physical therapy and occupational therapy practitioners in a local home health agency. A series of learning cycles will be conducted to adjust the treatment dose and delivery mode, so that the program can be implemented at low cost but remains effective in improving self-care ability for Medicare beneficiaries. The specific aim is to evaluate the implementation-related clinical and patient outcomes.

Conditions

• Frailty
• Disability or Chronic Disease Leading to Disablement

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	3-Step Workout for Life	Participants will receive the modified 3-step Workout for Life program given by their physical therapy or occupational therapy providers. The program includes single-joint and multiple joint progressive resistance exercise and activities of daily living exercise. During the resistance exercise sessions, participants will use resistance tubing to strengthen major muscle groups of the upper extremity and/or lower extremity. During the activities of daily living exercise, participants will practice activities of daily living that they experience difficulty. The intervention volume, duration, and frequency will be modified to enhance practicality in a home health care setting over the implementation phase. In addition to the 3-Step Workout for Life exercise, participants may also receive other routine rehabilitation treatment determined and provided by their therapists to facilitate their functional recovery.
