Multidimensional interventions to increase life-space mobility in older adults ranging from nursing home residents to community-dwelling: a systematic scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Life-space mobility (LSM) is an important aspect of older adults' real-life mobility. Studies have shown that restricted LSM is a risk factor for many adverse outcomes such as low quality of life and mortality. Therefore, an increasing number of interventions aim to enhance LSM. However, the intervention approaches differ in terms of their type/content, duration, targeted populations, but also in terms of their outcome measures and assessment tools. Especially the latter impairs the comparability of studies with otherwise similar interventional approaches and thus also the interpretation of their results. Therefore, this systematic scoping review aims to provide an overview of the intervention components, assessment tools, and effectiveness of studies aiming to improve L
