Muscling Up Against Disability (MUAD)

Population

Community-dwelling older adults with complex health-care needs in Australia.

Intervention

A stepped-wedge design for supervised resistance and balance training, with follow-up after the training period.

Interpretation & limitations

This is a protocol, not an outcome report. It does not establish that every participant benefited or that programme benefits persist indefinitely.

Relevance to HUR

The methods describe HUR air-resistance equipment and exercise recording within the supervised programme.
