What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Physically frail older adults often have chronic conditions that contribute to a higher chance of them being limited in daily activities and becoming dependent. Physical activity can help to better manage chronic conditions and prevent frailty. In this project, the counselling approach using the new Canadian 24-hour Movement Guidelines will be adapted for older adults at an early state of frailty. This new approach will be tested against the one in current use by physiotherapists. This ethics application will address the pilot implementation evaluation, including interviews and focus groups, conducted to refine the new approach.
