Exercise Intervention
Investigators are proposing an innovative rehabilitative care program for older primary care patients at risk for mobility decline. The program targets newly identified risk factors for mobility decline and utilizes mobile health technology to deliver patient centered care more efficiently. Study participants will receive exercise instruction with a licensed physical therapist for an average of 8-10 training sessions, with the possibility of up to 16 sessions. some at home and some in the clinic. The exercise training sessions will focus on improving mobility, balance and ability to get up from a chair with the use of an exercise application (Wellpepper) being used on a study issued iPad.
