Abstract

Objective: To examine the effects of a standing intervention on gait speed for older adults living in long term care (LTC) residences. Design: A parallel superiority cluster randomized controlled trial. Setting and participants: LTC residences. A total of 95 LTC residents (n = 47 control; n = 48 intervention) participated in the study. Methods: LTC residences and therefore the residents from the homes were randomized to either the intervention group (standing up to 100 minutes/week) for 22 weeks or the control group (socializing with staff with no encouragement to stand for up to 100 minutes/w
