Overview
• “Long-term Care in Motion” (LTCiM) as part of INNOVAGE
• Healthy and active ageing in LTC residents
• Physical activity (PA) as fundament of LTCiM
• Overall ambition of LTCiM
• Social innovative component of LTCiM
• Current state and interim findings

Management
“[…] develop and test
as well as survey and
catalogue, social
innovations that will
have a solid impact on
improving the quality of
life and well-being of
older people.”
Background of LTCiM
Goal: Improve healthy and active ageing in a vulnerable population at
high risk of inactivity, decreased Quality of Life (QoL), isolation, and
impaired healthy life expectancy
Project Background
• Despite the positive effects of PA even in very old age, LTC residents are at
high risk of inactivity and respective negative consequences
• LTC residents may have the lowest likelihood to be addressed by social
innovations (therapeutic pessimism; incarnation of “negative ageing”)
• Novel approach based on combined PA training and psychosocial
intervention and latest motion tracking technologies
• Use of cutting-edge tracking technology as a means for assessing user
needs in the LTC setting
What does healthy and active
ageing mean …
…for the specific group of LTC residents?
- Maintaining mental capacity and mental well-being at the highest level
possible
- Maintaining physical functioning at the highest level possible
- Maximizing autonomy, participation, quality of life and well-being
…but how to reach this?
PA as fundament
Physical
Activity
Motor
Status
Emotional
Status
Cognitive
Status
Quality of Life, Autonomy, Participation
PA as fundament
• PA training literature mostly focuses on “normally ageing” older adults
living in the community and thus focuses on those being still rather well in
physical and cognitive functioning
• (Motor) Performance is primary study endpoint in previous LTC-studies. No
