5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of multifaceted rehabilitation program in Veterans 65 years and older. This study will also examine the neuromuscular and cognitive attributes that contribute to clinically meaningful improvements in mobility; and determine whether a novel mode of cognitive training can enhance cognition among mobility limited primary care Veterans 65 years and older.
Detailed Description
This study is a randomized control pilot study. All participants will receive rehabilitative exercise addressing mobility skills. In addition, one group will be will receive additional cognitive training. Randomization is stratified according to screening mobility and cognitive score.
