Deaf older adults 60 years and older are enrolled into an 8-week exercise program delivered in American Sign Language. The class meets twice a week, with handout and video homework. Outcome measures are self-reported balance confidence, lower extremity strength, walking and agility, and standing balance. In addition, attendance and keeping up with exercises at home will be tracked.
The intervention will be 8 weeks of 2 meetings/wk exercise class, delivered entirely in ASL. Homework exercise will also be provided. 10-12 participants will be recruited for each of the 4 semesters of offerings. Physical balance as well as balance confidence will be measured prior to and immediately after the 8-week intervention. In addition, balance confidence will be measured 6-months after the conclusion of the intervention period.
