There is one clinical trial.
Sufficient muscle strength helps to get out of a chair and can prevent falls. Up to 30% of older adults experience age-related loss of muscle strength, which can lead to frailty and health instability. Exercise helps to build muscle, maintain bone density and prevent chronic disease, especially during the aging process. In older adults at risk of mobility impairment, exercise greatly reduced incidence and effects did not vary by frailty status. However, more than 75% of Canadian adults ≥18 years of age are not meeting physical activity guidelines. In addition, it is known know that malnutrition, including low protein intake, may lead to poor physical function. While there are services to support exercise and nutrition, barriers to implementing them persist. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the potential for physical inactivity, malnutrition, and loneliness among older adults, especially those with pre-existing health or mobility impairments. Now and in future, alternate ways to promote exercise and proper nutrition to the most vulnerable are needed. The investigators propose to adapt MoveStrong, an 8-week education program combining functional strength and balance training with strategies to increase protein intake. The program was co-developed with patient advocates, Osteoporosis Canada, the YMCA, Community Support Connections and others. MoveStrong will be delivered by telephone or web conference to older adults in their homes, using mailed program instructions, 1-on-1 training sessions through Physitrack®, as well as online nutrition seminars and support groups over Microsoft® Teams. The primary aim of this study is to assess feasibility as determined by recruitment (25 people in 3 months), retention (80%), adherence (≥70%) and participant experience.
Description: The number of participants recruited at the end of rollout and participant experience.
Measure: Recruitment Time: Through study completion, an average of 12 weeksDescription: The number of participants retained at post-rollout end
Measure: Retention Time: Through study completion, an average of 12 weeksDescription: The percentage of exercise sessions completed
Measure: Adherence Time: Through study completion, an average of 12 weeksDescription: A semi-structured interview will ask about participant experience, satisfaction, learning needs, and suggested adaptations to the program. A semi-structured interview guide has been designed to conduct exit interviews and follow up interviews with each participant over the phone or web conference. Interviews will be audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. One researcher will perform content analyses using NVivo version 12 Pro or higher (QSR International Pty Ltd, 2019) to describe participant experience, satisfaction, learning needs and suggested adaptations to the program. Analyses will be verified by another researcher through member checking. The exercise physiologist will be given a spreadsheet to record any protocol adaptations, challenges, and successes to inform future trials.
Measure: Participant experience Time: Week 12Description: A Physical Activity Screen (PAS) will be used to capture average minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each week. This tool was created based on questions used by Exercise is Medicine in the Physical Activity Vital Sign questionnaire (Greenwood et al., 2010). The results will be compared to national exercise guidelines for older adults that promote ≥150 minutes and ≥2 session of muscle strengthening per week (Tremblay et al., 2011).
Measure: Physical activity Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: A modified version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale will be used to capture levels of planning and execution of exercise related activities (Resnick & Jenkins, 2000). The lowest response option to each question is "Not true at all", while the highest is "Exactly true". Responses closer to "Exactly true" indicate a better outcome.
Measure: Exercise self-efficacy scale Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: The 30-second Chair Stand will be used to access lower extremity muscle function (Bohannon, 1995; Jones et al., 1999). The instructions for this test have been adapted and will be self-administered under the remote supervisor supervision of the exercise physiologist. A higher score on this test indicates a better outcome.
Measure: 30-second Chair Stand Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: Static balance will be measured using the 3-point scale from the Short Performance Physical Battery (J. M. Guralnik et al., 1994). The instructions for this test have been adapted and will be self-administered under the remote supervisor supervision of the exercise physiologist. A higher score on this test indicates a better outcome.
Measure: Static balance Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: Fatigue will be assessed with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-fatigue questions (CES-D) Depression Scale (Radloff, 1977). Only two questions on the CES-D will be used: "I felt that everything I did was an effort, "I could not get going". The lowest response option is "Rarely (<1 day)", and the highest response option is "Nearly every day". Responses closer to the lowest response option indicate a better outcome.
Measure: Fatigue Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale focuses on positive aspects of mental health. It is short, yet robust and showed high correlations with other mental health and well-being scales. The lowest response option is "None of the time", and the highest response option is "All of the time". Responses closer to the highest response option indicate a better outcome.
Measure: Mental health and social isolation Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: The EuroQol Group 5 Dimension 5 Level questionnaire is a multi-attribute health related quality of life tool (Herdman et al., 2011). The system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems to extreme problems five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the self rated patient's health state. Responses to each dimension are scored as a number from 1-5. Responses scored as 1 indicate a better outcome.
Measure: Quality of life score Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: The SCREEN tool is a valid and reliable nutrition questionnaire designed specifically for older adults (Keller et al., 2005). This tool will be used to assess changes in weight, appetite, eating habits and promote viable self-management.
Measure: Dietary intake Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: ASA24®-Canada is a guided web-based tool used for 24-hour diet recalls. All food and drinks consumed by the participant on two weekdays and one weekend day (3 days in total) will be reported to track protein intake (Subar et al., 2012).
Measure: Nutrition tracking Time: Baseline, week 9, week 12Description: We will ask participants to report adverse events, using Health Canada definitions. We will report all serious and non-serious adverse events and identify those attributable to intervention. Safety outcomes will include all falls, fractures, and serious and non-serious adverse events. Any fractures or falls that are attributable to intervention will be considered under both fall or fracture outcomes, and harms.

Data processed on December 13, 2020.
An HTML report was created for each of the unique drugs, MeSH, and HPO terms associated with COVID-19 clinical trials. Each report contains a list of either the drug, the MeSH terms, or the HPO terms. All of the terms in a category are displayed on the left-hand side of the report to enable easy navigation, and the reports contain a list of correlated drugs, MeSH, and HPO terms. Further, all reports contain the details of the clinical trials in which the term is referenced. Every clinical trial report shows the mapped HPO and MeSH terms, which are also hyperlinked. Related HPO terms, with their associated genes, protein mutations, and SNPs are also referenced in the report.
