Summary

This novel study supports the positive benefits of Home Based Older Persons Upstreaming Physical Therapy (HOP-UP-PT) to older adults identified as "at-risk" by their local senior center after participating in a prevention-focused multimodal program provided by physical therapists in their home.

HOP-UP-PT Program

Interventions provided to EG participants included; (1) the Otago Exercise Program (OEP) which is a well-established exercise program with evidence that it reduces falls among community-dwelling older adults, (2) motivational interviewing (MI) to optimize positive health behaviors, and (3) home and environmental modification recommendations aimed at safety. Participants were provided with and educated on the use of a wrist-worn activity tracker and an automated BP monitor unit. Finally, when follow up items were identified (e.g., orthostatic hypotension, community exercise classes), these referrals were made and documented.
