This article describes a walking program that was implemented at a 550-bed long-term care facility. The program was developed in order to promote functional mobility in the frail nursing home population. The aim of the program is to establish a nursing procedure that focuses on the individual resident's need to walk, and to improve or maintain the ambulatory status of the frail elderly. Twenty nursing home residents from the first three units on which the program was implemented were evaluated before and after the implementation of the program. The data show that the participants improved their ambulatory status after participating in the walking program. This improvement was accompanied by a decrease in the proportion of residents falling.
本文介绍了一项在一家拥有550张床位的长期护理机构实施的步行计划。该计划的制定是为了促进体弱的养老院居民的功能移动性。该计划的目的是建立一种以个体居民步行需求为重点的护理程序，并改善或维持体弱老年人的行走状态。对该计划实施的前三个单元的20名养老院居民在计划实施前后进行了评估。数据显示，参与者在参加步行计划后行走状态有所改善。这种改善伴随着居民跌倒比例的下降。
