Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of On the Move (OTM) in terms of improving mobility among 502 older adults in 44 senior community centers and to evaluate intervention fidelity, including adherence and competence, and the impact of organizational, instructor, and participant level factors on intervention fidelity.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

On the Move group exercise

The OTM exercise program is a group-based program led by a certified OTM instructor. The frequency and duration of OTM is 50 minutes, twice weekly for 12 weeks for a total of 24 classes. The OTM exercise program is based on principles of motor learning that enhance smooth and automatic movement control. The program contains a warm-up (5 minutes), stepping patterns (15 minutes), walking patterns (15 minutes), strengthening exercises (10 minutes), and cool-down exercises (5 minutes). The warm-up and cool down contain gentle range of motion exercises and stretches for the lower extremities and trunk. Considered essential components, the stepping and walking patterns are progressively more difficult, goal-oriented patterns that promote the timing and coordination of stepping integrated with the phases of the gait cycle.
