| Annotation | The purpose of this paper is to present an effective approach toward the prevention and rehabilitation of a geriatric population living within a community, in assisted living facilities or in nursing homes. A group-based progressive strength training programme can help individuals reach their own personal functional fitness goals and promote future independence, improve balance, coordination, range of motion, flexibility, and spatial awareness while receiving social support and having fun. This paper describes the muscles used in performing various activities of daily living (ADLs) as well as the functional exercises appropriate to improve performance in the ADLs. Modifications to various exercises are also addressed. (AKM). |
