    Regular exercise is effective in improving mobility and daily living activities for older adults in long-term care. Physical exercises promote short-term improvements in mobility that allow easier movement. Loss of mobility reduces quality of life, increases health problems, and causes social isolation, while decreased mobility can indicate future disability. Mobility difficulties result in dependence on others for care. Older adults have better quality of life and activity levels in the community compared to nursing homes, so physical activity programs should be emphasized more in long-term care facilities. Caregiver-led exercise programs can improve quality of life and balance for stroke patients.

    Literature

    There is limited evidence on how patients are affected after healthcare students complete their
    clinical rotations and leave the clinical sites. However, there is available evidence that indicates the
    importance of physical mobility and why such interventions should be maintained throughout.
    According to Forster, Lambley and Young, 2010 regular exercise is effective in improving mobility
    and activities of daily living in individual who are in a long-term care setting and they further
    emphasized the importance of performing exercises daily to improve mobility. Physical exercises
    promotes good short term changes which enables the older adults to mobilize easily (Liubicich,
    Magistro, Candela and Rabaglietti, 2012).

    Consequences of Reduced/ ceased mobility in older adults


    The loss of independent mobility in older adults reduce the quality of life, increase number of
    diseases and promotes social disintegration (Manini, 2012). Once the mobility is decreased it can
    serve as an indication for future health problems which will eventually lead to disability (Liubicich,
    Magistro, Candela and Rabaglietti, 2012). Loss of the ability to walk is associated with causing
    obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, poor cognitive function,
    and depression (Satariano, Guralnik, Jackson, Marottoli, Phelan, 2012). Mobility difficulties in older
    adults are characterized by an individual being dependent on others (Manini, 2012).

    Older adults are most likely to have high quality of life and physical activity when in the community
    compared to those living an old age home and therefore physical activity should be implemented
    more in old age homes (Ramocha, Louw and Tshabalala, 2017). Caregiver-mediated exercises were
    effective in improving quality of life and patient’s standing balance following a stroke (Vloothuis,
    Veerbeek, Konijnenbelt, Visser‐Meily, Ket, Kwakkel, and Wegen, 2016).
