Özet:
Limited mobility in older adults can affect their physical and mental well-being and reduce their involvement in their neighborhoods and community. This research project examined mobility of older adults by asking two primary questions: (1) What are the factors that limit the mobility of older adults?; and (2) What interventions are effective in improving the mobility of older adults? Through a systematic literature review of 25 peer-reviewed articles, key factors associated with limited mobility were identified. Physical, cognitive, psychological, and environmental factors were found to result in an older adult's inability to complete daily activities, increased risk of falling, difficulties in cognitive processing, decreased utilization of life space, and limited interaction with their neighborhoods and communities. A second systematic literature review of 20 articles examined the effectiveness of interventions that can be used to enhance the mobility of older adults. It can be determined that there is a breadth of interventions that affect the factors of limited mobility. The interventions discussed in this research project show the effectiveness of physical exercise, cognitive behavioral training programs, task oriented brain exercises, and transportation programs in improving the mobility of older adults. The findings of this research project will help professionals who work with older adults understand the complexity of mobility and the role mobility plays in aging. Continued research on mobility will promote healthy aging and enhance older adult's quality of life.
