Living Independence Through Functional Training (LIFT)

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07125378 (LIFT) is designed to study Treatment for Mobility Limitation, Cognitive Impairment. It is a Phase 1 Phase 2 interventional trial that is recruiting, having started on 31 January 2026, with plans to enroll 10 participants. Led by University of Florida, it is expected to complete by 31 July 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 25 November 2025.
Brief Summary
The purpose of the research is to evaluate the feasibility and benefits of a six-week hybrid task-oriented resistance exercise program for older adults who have been recently discharged from home health care.

ExperimentalLIFT
Participants will receive a task-oriented resistance exercise program at home.
Task-oriented Resistance Exercise
The intervention program includes progressive resistance exercise and daily activity exercise, delivered over a six-week period with an ideal frequency of three sessions per week. Progressive resistance exercise will be provided through a combination of in-person and online sessions, while daily activity exercise will be delivered exclusively in person.
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Short Physical Performance Battery
The score ranges from 0 to 12, with a score of 12 indicating the best physical functioning of the lower extremity.
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.
Montreal Cognitive Assessment
The score ranges from 0 to 30, with a score of 30 indicating the best global cognitive function.
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Timed Up and Go Test-Single Task.
Time in seconds to complete the test, with a longer time indicating poor functional mobility.
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.
Timed Up and Go-Dual Task
Time in seconds to complete the task, a longer time indicating the interference of the dual task effect on mobility.
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.
List Sorting Working Memory Test
The raw score ranges from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating better working memory. The raw score is converted to a Change Sensitive Score.
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.
Dimensional Change Card Sort Test
The raw score ranges from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating better executive function. The raw score is converted to a Change Sensitive Score.
Baseline, 8 weeks, 12 weeks.
Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention Test
The raw score ranges from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating better executive function and attention. The raw score is converted to a Change Sensitive Score.
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks
Pattern Comparison Processing Speed Test
The raw score ranges from 0-133, with a higher score indicating better processing speed. The raw score is converted to a Change Sensitive Score.
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks
Speeded Matching Test
The score ranges from 0 to 130, with a higher score indicating better speed of processing. The raw score is converted to a Change Sensitive Score.
Baseline, 8 weeks, 12 weeks
Oral Symbol Digit Test
The raw score ranges from 0 to 143, with a higher score indicating better processing speed. The raw score is converted to a Rasch score.
Baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks
