Functional Incidental Training, Mobility Performance, and Incontinence Care with Nursing Home Residents

OBJECTIVE: To determine if an exercise intervention, Functional Incidental Training (FIT), results in improvements in mobility endurance and physical activity when compared with prompted voiding (PV) among cognitively and mobility impaired nursing home residents.
