Brief Summary

The rate of musculoskeletal pain among older people is increasing worldwide and significantly impacts the quality of life. Regular exercise can help prevent and manage chronic musculoskeletal pain because older individuals who are not physically active may have less muscle strength and a higher risk of impairment and injury than physically active persons. As a result, a tailored exercise program may prevent the loss of health-related quality of life among diverse elderly. This study aimed to develop a structured exercise module and identify its effect on musculoskeletal pain and the quality of life of older adults.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Musculoskeletal Pain (Pain Score)

  It assess the severity of musculoskeletal pain in older people by using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). It ranged from 0 to 10; 0 indicates no pain, 5 for moderate pain, and 10 indicates the worst pain.

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 6 weeks

• Functional Limitation

  It focuses on the potential of participants to conduct daily life tasks through the use of the Malay edition of Lawton's Daily Living Instrumental Activities (Kadar et al., 2018; Morrow, 1999). This section includes 8 questions which were based on dichotomous questions (Yes or No). The total possible score is 8. This segment asks about the ability to use the telephone, shop, prepare food, do housekeeping, wash, mode of transport, be responsible of their medication, and their ability in managing their money.
