Physical activities program
To implement this line, the protocol of the VIVIFRAIL Project will be used as a reference. That protocol has different physical exercises, divided into itineraries, in order to adapt it to a person's capability. Several sessions of this research line will employ the use of videogames so that the elderly can explore new forms of physical activity and thus establish contact and expertise with new technologies. It is estimated that two sessions per week over two months are needed for each person to continue doing physical activity independently and with autonomy.
Relaxation training
Will take place with those participants who are included in the research lines of insomnia and risk of falls. It is estimated that two sessions per week for one month are needed.
Training of the pelvic floor
the intervention will apply to participants enrolled in the research line dealing with urinary incontinence during the six months of intervention, with a frequency of two sessions per week
Counseling about occupational performance
After the physical activity and relaxation programs, the counselling will start. With each participant, routines and daily activities will be planned that will be adequate according to different recommendations about urinary incontinence, insomnia and risk of falls. Different performance guidelines will be established in order to establish a good balance between activities. The guidelines can include the recommendations about adjustments to the environment. It is estimated that three sessions per week for two months are needed to incorporate advice and routines into the daily lives of participants.
