N2  - The Healthy Moves for Aging Well program piloted a home-based, low-intensity strength exercise program that targeted a nursing home certifiable, ethnically diverse sample of community-residing adults aged 65 and older. This study examined the effectiveness of the Healthy Moves program in reducing participants' number of falls, fear of falling, depression, and pain. Results indicated that participants (n = 338) had statistically significant declines in the number of falls and level of pain. These declines were found among participants who improved their exercise performance. This pilot suggests that a modest intervention that couples behavior change with seated exercise can have a positive outcome on a sample of older adults who have high levels of functional impairment and lack a regular exercise regime.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
